Azul
Azul is the award-winning abstract tile-placement game for 2–4 players (ages 8+) by Michael Kiesling, published by Next Move Games. Players draft colored resin tiles from a central supply to fill rows on their personal mosaic board, scoring points for completed rows, columns, and color sets while penalizing unplaceable tiles. Winner of the 2018 Spiel des Jahres.
Azul is a tile-placement game in which players compete for the highest score by claiming tiles and arranging them on their board to score points. Extra points are on offer for collecting sets of the same color of tile, or for creating particular patterns, while there are penalties for taking tiles that you’re unable to use. But every tile that you claim affects what your rivals can take next. You’ll have to make choices that help you without helping them too much!
