Product Description
Azul was designed by the world famous, award winning game author Michael Riesling. Azul captures the beautiful aesthetics of Moorish art in a contemporary board game. Players compete as artisans decorating the walls of the royal Palace of Dvora. By carefully drafting the correct Quantity and style of tiles, the most clever of artisans plan ahead to maximize the beauty of their work (not to mention their scores!) while ensuring they wasted no supplies in the process. 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 Dvora.

On your turn, you’ll select tiles from one of the available market discs. However, when selecting, you must take all matching tiles from that disc. |
Next, you’ll select a row to add the tiles you’ve collected to. This prepares the tiles to be added to the matching row in your display. |
Be careful! If take too many tiles, and cannot fit them on the row, the leftover tiles will fall to the floor, costing you points at the end of the game. |

For a four player Setup, each player will receive a player board with scoring cube. Nine circle disks called "factory displays" will be placed in a circle at the center of the table. On each disk there will be four randomly drawn tiles from the tile bag.
Gameplay
Factory Offer: A player will need to choose a set of same colored tiles from either a "factory display" or the center table area of the nine disks. When tiles are chosen from the "factory display" the tiles that remain will move to the center table area. When choosing tiles from the center table area, if the player is the first to do this, they will gather a set of one tile type and obtain the first player marker, and go first in the next round. After choosing tiles, players will place their chosen tile/s on their player board in one of the five pattern lines. These pattern lines range from one square to five squares. All tiles must be placed on the same pattern line as players are not allowed to split up their tiles. Any tiles that cannot be place are moved to the Floor Line that gives the player negative victory points for each wasted tile. After all tiles have been chosen this phase will end.
Wall-tiling: All players may do this at the same time, players will now move finished Pattern Lines to their respective Wall areas on their player board. Players will start with the One Pattern Line and end on the Fifth Pattern Line. Players will discard excess tiles of completed rows as only one tile is moved. Scoring will be one point for placing a single tile. However, players will score a point for every 1 or more tile that is connected horizontally or vertically. Then finally negative points will be applied from the Floor Line.
Preparing the Next Round: If no one has completed a horizontal line of five tiles than another round will begin. The first player will draw four tiles for each "factory display", and then place the first player marker in the center table area.
End of Game: When a player completes a horizontal row during the Wall-tiling phase the game is over at the end of the round. Players will do one final scoring, and score additional points for complete horizontal lines (2 points), complete vertical lines (7 points), and covering all tiles belonging to one tile type (10 points). The player will the most points is the winner of the game.
Azul is a great game for those beginning to get into board games, and veterans that play all the time. The reason being is it is a fast game with some depth. The game goes by fast for first time players, but that speed increases when people play it again. It works great as a filler game, and something lite enough for people to get into without feeling like they need to spend time learning it. The depth of the game comes from how tiles are placed, and how strategic players want to be. That strategy is looking at what tiles they will risk taking in negative victory points to obtain more victory points at the end, or at that moment. The game can also be mean by player choice as individuals can force a player to take on a lot of negative victory points because they were not counting on everyone passing up a set of tiles. Also, players can choose to pay attention to what they are leaving behind because sometimes someone could set someone else up for a terrific play. Azul, again, is a great game for everyone that likes playing board games. It works exceptionally well as a beginner game, but it is not the type of beginner game that intermediate players will have an issue with playing.
Teaching the game: Emphasize that players should pay attention to what tiles they are taking in later turns as they can not only setup other players, but they can give themselves a lot of negative victory points. From this, remember that a Pattern Line cannot have the same tile placed that has already been placed on a players board. Also, the first Pattern Line is only one tile, so the game is moving towards ending rather quickly as the average game is 5 to 7 rounds. For even more advance play, the other side of the player board has a blank wall devoid of any tile type. On this side players must choose where to place their tile with the rule being the same tile type cannot be found in one row.
