In Azul, you take on the role of a tile-laying artist decorating the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. The game draws on the story of the Portuguese "azulejos," decorative tiles introduced by the Moors, which King Manuel I admired at the Alhambra and ordered for his own palace.
How It Plays
- Choose coloured tiles from the supply and place them on your personal board
- Score points based on how you place your tiles to decorate the palace
- Earn extra points for specific designs and complete sets
- Avoid wasting tiles, since that lowers your final score
