Sunday Board Game Highlight: Azul
Details
Azul is a beautifully designed abstract strategy game where players take on the role of artisans decorating the royal palace of Évora. Using colorful tiles inspired by traditional Portuguese ceramics, players draft and place tiles to create stunning patterns while maximizing points.
Each round, players carefully select tiles from shared factories, balancing strategy and timing to build efficient rows and avoid penalties. Simple to learn but highly strategic, Azul rewards planning, adaptability, and smart drafting.
