Azul - Board Game Strategy for Family (Ages 8+), 2-4 Players

Azul, an award-winning board game, was designed by the world-famous game author Michael Riesling. In this game, players compete as artisans decorating the walls of the royal Palace of Dvora, capturing the beautiful aesthetics of Moorish art in a contemporary way. By carefully drafting the correct quantity and style of tiles, artisans plan ahead to maximize the beauty of their work and their scores, while ensuring no supplies are wasted in the process.

The game is inspired by the introduction of "azulejos" by the Moors, originally white and blue ceramic tiles, which were fully embraced by the Portuguese after their King Manuel I was mesmerized by the beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles during a visit to the Alhambra Palace in Southern Spain. The King immediately ordered that his own Palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles, and as a tile laying artist, players are challenged to embellish the walls of the royal Palace of Dvora.

Azul offers players the opportunity to become an artisan and craft exquisite tile mosaics, with strategic planning being a key factor in outscoring opponents and disrupting their plans. The game features high-quality components and beautiful tile pieces, making it suitable for players of all ages and a perfect addition to game night. Created by the masterful game author Michael Riesling, Azul promises a fun and engaging gaming experience for all.
