What is Azul
Introduced 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. As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.
In the game Azul, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Light, beautiful, short. A game to play with non-gamers and still have a nice time.
El juego que te juega a ti. insípido y soso como lamer un azulejo.

Simple and smooth game. Quality components. Suitable for family. A must to get to the table any game night whether they are expert or not Good mechanics with a nice duration. At some point you got to be a good strategist to reach the higher score at the end of the game. Conditions for your gameplay are constantly changing, so you better adapt yourself to improvisation or you'll lose Must have indeed
Un juego aparentemente simpático que esconde un puterío increíble. Muy buen juego abstracto, fácil de explicar pero de gran estrategia.
