Azul

Azul is a delightfull strategic game about choosing colorful tiles and placing them on to your board in order to score points. Easy to learn, hard to master gameplay will keep you entertained for a while.

Fun competitive game about collecting sets of tiles to score points. Plays in under an hour with up to 4 players. Simple and quick to learn/teach. Very nice production quality, although the box could have been half the size.

I really like playing this game with people who are new to board games. It's very easy to learn and plays quickly.

Azul is a solid medium weight strategy game. There is a theme about Moorish tiles being set on the walls of a palace, but it’s entirely irrelevant and probably unfamiliar to most who play. The basic mechanisms of tile drafting and placement is pretty easy to learn. New players can pick it up and get going fairly quickly. Experienced players can plan ahead for their best options and interfere with others’ plans. It is always well received and has staying power.

This game is very quick and easy to understand. I would say this is on par with games like Catan, where it isn't your basic Monopoly or Scattergories, but a good introduction to the broader world of board games.

One of those games that you can play with just about anyone. It's calm and relaxing game and the nice components really help engage everyone into the game.

I was on the fence about getting this game but finally caved during a sale, and now I want every single game in this line. It took a little bit to learn all of the rules about scoring, but once we figured it out it's become one of my favorites very quickly. The random nature of the tile selection means that every game is different and that it's easy to play with any number of people. I definitely recommend it.

Azul and its variations are great quick and strategy-oriented games. Highly recommended for any board game collection.

I have a friend who hates games, so we usually play while she talks, but even she couldn’t resist Azul...she actually played 3 games in a row with us! Not to mention everyone in our family from 7 to 77 has enjoyed it as well. Including my son and mother in law who just like the pretty colors and patterns and my husband who loves to crush us all with strategy.

Azul is an amazing tile drafting game. Finding out how to maximize your points every round while preventing your opponents from doing the same makes for a consistently challenging puzzle. Amazing!
