Azul

Azul
Award-winning strategy. Stunning design. Addictive tile-placement fun.

Winner of the 2018 Spiel des Jahres and Golden Geek Best Family Game, Azul is a beautifully crafted tile-placement game that has captivated players around the world. As a master artisan, you'll compete to decorate the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora using vibrant ceramic tiles known as azulejos.

Each turn, players draft tiles from shared factory displays to place on their boards, aiming to complete rows, form patterns, and collect matching sets. Scoring is based on clever tile placement, with bonus points for symmetry and completion—and penalties for wasted tiles. The twist? Every tile you take also changes what’s available for your opponents, so every decision matters.
