Step into the role of a master artisan and transform blank palace walls into stunning works of tile-laid beauty. Azul captures the elegance of Moorish and Portuguese decorative art in a smooth, satisfying strategy game where every tile you draft shapes both your masterpiece and your opponent’s options. Inspired by the classic azulejos that once mesmerized King Manuel I, you are challenged to decorate the royal Palace of Dvora with the most breathtaking mosaic patterns. Azul is easy to learn but packed with clever decisions. Players draft tiles from a central market and place them into rows, aiming to complete patterns, collect sets of colors, and score bonus points for planning ahead. But there’s a catch: taking tiles you cannot place will cost you points, and every draft you make changes what’s available for everyone else. It’s a fast, competitive game that rewards smart timing, efficient placement, and just the right amount of disruption.
