Azul captures the beautiful aesthetics of Moorish art in a contemporary board game. Players compete as artisans decorating the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. By carefully drafting the correct quantity and style of tiles, the most clever of artisans plan ahead to maximize the beauty of their work (not to mention their scores!) while ensuring they wasted no supplies in the process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduced by the Moors, azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese, when their King Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAzul is suited for 2 “ 4 artisans, ages 8+. While the actual decoration of the Royal Palace of Evora took many years, we expect a game of Azul to last 30 “ 40 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCONTENTS:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e100 Resin Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e4 Player boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e9 Factory displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e4 Scoring markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 Starting player marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 Linen bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NK73VT0oFZM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Next Move Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42468533272694,"sku":"210000002595","price":62.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/0984\/4342\/files\/en1pcyezjvacffnixsae.jpg?v=1755151805"},{"product_id":"azul-summer-pavilion","title":"Azul: Summer Pavilion","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the 16th Century, King Manuel I commissioned Portugal's greatest artisans to construct grandiose buildings. After completing the Palaces of Evora and Sintra, the king sought to build a summer pavilion to honor the most famous members of the royal family. This construction was intended for the most talented artisans - whose skills meet the splendor that the royal family deserves. Sadly, King Manuel I died before construction ever began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAzul: Summer Pavilion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, players return to Portugal to accomplish the task that never began. As a master artisan, you must use the finest materials to create the summer pavilion while carefully avoiding wasting supplies. Only the best will rise to the challenge to honor the Portuguese royal family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAzul: Summer Pavilion\u003c\/em\u003e lasts six rounds, and in each round players draft tiles, then place them on their individual player board to score points. Each of the six colors of tiles is wild during one of the rounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of each round, draw tiles at random from the bag to refill each of the five, seven, or nine factories with four tiles each. Draw tiles as needed to refill the ten supply spaces on the central scoring board. Players then take turns drafting tiles. You can choose to take all of the tiles of a non-wild color on a factory and place them next to your board; if any wild tiles are on this factory, you must take one of them. Place all remaining tiles in the center of the table. Alternatively, you can take all tiles of a non-wild color from the center of play; you must also take one wild tile, if present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all tiles have been claimed, players then take turns placing tiles on their individual boards. Each board depicts seven stars that would be composed of six tiles; each space on a star shows a number from 1-6, and six of the stars are for tiles of a single color while the seventh will be composed of one tile of each color. To place a tile on the blue 5, for example, you must discard five blue or wild tiles from next to your player board (with at least one blue being required), placing one blue tile in the blue 5 space and the rest in the discard tower. You score 1 point for this tile and 1 point for each tile within this star connected to the newly placed tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you completely surround a pillar, statue, or window on your game board with tiles, you get an immediate bonus, taking 1-3 tiles from the central supply spaces and placing them next to your board. At the end of the round, you can carry over at most four tiles to the next round; discard any others, losing 1 point for each such tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter six rounds, you score a bonus for each of the seven stars that you've filled completely. Additionally, you score a bonus for having covered all seven spaces of value 1, 2, 3 or 4. You lose 1 point for each remaining tile unused, then whoever has the most points wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vjiv814Z6E0\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Next Move Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42468543004790,"sku":"210000051866","price":62.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/0984\/4342\/files\/bq1carv1xbkwtitnpqqx.jpg?v=1755152529"},{"product_id":"azul-mini","title":"Azul: Mini","description":"\u003cp\u003eAzul practically needs no introduction!
