  1. 9 out of 10

    This is the one game I would probably pick if i was told to appeal to the largest variety of players. It's not complicated to explain so a new gamer could get into this quickly. It's got enough depth of strategy to entertain a heavy gamer. It's mainly a middle of the road game and works very well at all player counts (a bit more cut throat at 2 but still a lot of fun).

  2. 7.5 out of 10

    A wonderful gateway game that hides a mean streak behind it's pretty face. Almost everyone I know has been impressed with the beautiful candy-like tiles and that tactility they add to the game. The gameplay is super simple, but I have found it to be still enjoyable after many plays. I've also found it the best game for introducing hate drafting and scorched earth strategies for new players. Always entertaining for the table when a player is forced to pick up too many tiles from the street and score negative points.

    This game has been a weekly feature with our family for months now and shows no signs of getting dull

Introduced by the Moors, azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their king Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.

In the game Azul, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they’ve placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player’s score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
