Asmodee Blue Table Board Game

Asmodee Azul: The Award-Winning Tile-Laying Strategy Game

Step back in time and become a master artisan in 16th-century Portugal. The Azul board game by Asmodee invites tile artists to take on the prestigious task of beautifying the walls of the Royal Palace of Évora.

When Manuel I the Fortunate, king of Portugal, visited the magnificent Alhambra Palace in Southern Spain, he was captivated by the imposing beauty of its decoration. The palace was adorned with stunning ceramic tiles of Arabic provenance, known as ´´azulejos´´. Still mesmerized by the splendor of the Alhambr´s interior upon his return, the king immediately ordered that the walls of his own palace in Évora be decorated in the same breathtaking style. This is where your journey begins.

In Azul, you are a craftsman tasked with embellishing the royal walls. This modern classic is a beautiful and engaging strategy game that is easy to learn but offers deep and rewarding choices every turn. Players take turns drafting colorful tiles from factory suppliers to place on their personal player board. The challenge lies in strategically collecting tiles of the right color and quantity to complete specific patterns and sets without wasting precious materials. Score points by creating beautiful patterns, completing sets of tiles, and covering your board with a mosaic of dazzling colors. But be careful! Taking tiles you cannot use will cost you points.

Experience the perfect blend of simple rules and compelling strategic depth that makes Azul a masterpiece of game design and the winner of the prestigious 2018 Spiel des Jahres award. Its high-quality, tactile components and stunning visual presentation create an unforgettable experience on your table. With its dynamic gameplay, every game of Azul is a new and unique puzzle, offering endless replayability for families and seasoned gamers alike.
