Azul: Summer Pavilion

I like Summer Pavilion, but it is probably my least favorite of the original 3 Azul games. The areas you fill (stars) have a huge affect on end game scoring. I like this version, just not quite as much as standard Azul or Stained Glass.

I really enjoy the original Azul game and wanted to try this edition as I'd heard good things. The gameplay is similar to original Azul (draw tiles from the factories), but tile placement rules and scoring are a little more of a puzzle. Also, there is a definitive end of this game as there are 6 rounds to game end whereas the original is dependent on when a player completes a row. All-in-all, I like the changes and it still plays very similar with some added complexity. If you're looking for a step up from original Azul this is a great game or if you think original Azul is too simple for your liking give this one a try!

I first played the original Azul and fell in love with the concepts it offers. When I tried out the sequel (Stained Glass of Sintra), I was rather disappointed so I was not eager to try Summer Pavilion. A friend of mine brought it over and we tried it out. It really felt like Azul 2.0 for me. It improves most every aspect of the original. While I wouldn't necessarily say get it if you already have the original; definitely buy this version if you dont have a copy or you know someone in your circle that doesn't have Azul already.

The colors for the game are vibrant, nice components and fun to play. Is a great addition to the Azul lineup.

One of the most colorful games we played. Smart, engaging puzzle for all ages

This is an excellent version of the Azul series, giving the player more options. We love it.

Both me and my wife love the game and it is very easy to learn and very rewarding. Great game!!

At first I thought it might just be the same game with a different board and different tiles. But this is my new favorite tile laying and Azul game . They added more mechanics to the game so you can switch up your strategy. And they fixed the 1st player token to make it a little more fair for other players. I really enjoyed it will keep it at the top of my stack for a while.

A good variant on the original game while providing different strategic choices. Waiting to place tiles at the end of gathering and the ability to save 4 tiles provides a lot more flexibility.

We have the original Azul and had heard great things about Summer Pavilion. We have played in many times in the short time we've had it. It's a great game and the flip sides of the boards provide some flexibility.
