Based on Portuguese tiles called azulejos, in Azul players collect sets of similarly colored tiles which they place on their player board. When a row is filled, one of the tiles is moved into a square pattern on the right side of the player board, where it garners points depending on where it is placed in relation to other tiles on the board. GameplayFrom two to four players collect tiles to fill up a 5x5 player board.[1] Players collect tiles by taking all the tiles of one color from a repository, and placing them in a row, taking turns until all the tiles for that round are taken.[2] At that point, one tile from every filled row moves over to each player's 5x5 board, while the rest of the tiles in the filled row are discarded.[3] Each tile scores based on where it is placed in relation to other tiles on the board.[4] Rounds continue until at least one player has made a row of tiles all the way across their 5x5 board. The basic game dictates where tiles of each color go on their player board, while an advanced version allows players to place them anywhere.[5] DevelopmentIn an interview with Pretzel Games, Kiesling described the design process as a two-phase process, with the question of how the tiles would be distributed.[6] ReceptionKeith Law, writing for Paste Magazine, said "The theme doesn't really tie into or matter for the game play, but the artwork is just fantastic and...will give Azul a ton of shelf appeal in a market where maybe publishers don't pay as much attention to that aspect of marketing."[1] Nate Anderson of Ars Technica described it as "an ideal weeknight game, or a game night opener, or a family title."[7] Todd VanDerWerff, writing for Vox, said "Azul has made the leap from hardcore hobbyist circles to the shelves of Target and other stores where it might be selected by grandmas shopping for their grandkids...absolutely every aspect of playing the game is at once instantly understandable and agreeably fun – right down to how those tiles feel in your hand."[8] Awards and nominationsAzul has won a number of board gaming awards and received numerous nominations:
Sequel/SeriesPlan B Games has released a second title in the Azul line, Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra, which increases the game's complexity via clear tiles and two sided window panes on the player boards.[18] References1. ^1 {{cite web | url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/09/its-time-for-some-game-theory-with-the-beautiful-a.html|title = It's Time for Some Game Theory with the Beautiful Azul| work = Paste Magazine|date = September 28, 2017 | accessdate = December 24, 2017 | first = Keith | last = Law }} 2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2017/dec/15/roll-it-the-azulejo-way-1728524.html| title = Roll it the azulejo way| work = The New Indian Express | date = December 16, 2017 | accessdate = December 24, 2017| first = Arjun | last = Sukumaran}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/12/the-10-best-board-games-of-2017.html|title = The 10 Best Board Games of 2017| work = Paste Magazine|date = December 17, 2017 | accessdate = December 26, 2017 | first = Keith | last = Law }} 4. ^{{cite web | url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/11/the-best-board-games-we-played-at-pax-unplugged/| title = The best board games we played at PAX Unplugged| work = ars technica | date = November 24, 2017 | accessdate = December 24, 2017| first = Nate | last = Anderson}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=https://geekandsundry.com/build-a-gorgeous-mosiac-fit-for-a-king-on-your-tabletop-in-azul/| title = Build A Gorgeous Mosaic Fit for a King on Your Tabletop in ‘Azul’| work = Geek & Sundry | date = October 17, 2017 | accessdate = December 24, 2017| first = Raf | last = Cordero}} 6. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.pretzelgames.com/en/news/dialogue-with-a-designer-michael-kiesling-azul-b50.html |title=Dialogue with a Designer, Michael Kiesling – Azul – Pretzel Games |website=www.pretzelgames.com |language=en-us |access-date=2017-12-24}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/07/review-azul-board-game-of-the-year/|title=Review: Azul, board game of the year?|work=Ars Technica|date = July 28, 2018|access-date=2018-11-22| first = Nate | last = Anderson|language=en-us}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/12/22/18139999/best-board-game-2018-azul|title=The confoundingly simple yet deep design of Azul, the best board game of 2018|work=Vox|date = December 22, 2018| access-date=2018-12-28| first = Todd | last = VanDerWerff |language=en-us}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/07/2018s-board-game-of-the-year-award-goes-to-azul/|title = 2018's "Board Game of the Year" award goes to… Azul!| work = Ars Technica|date = July 23, 2018 | accessdate = August 23, 2018 | first = Nate | last = Anderson }} 10. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/german-board-games-gurus-offerings-include-trump-nazis/|title = German board games guru's offerings includes Trump, Nazis| work = Times of Israel|date = December 26, 2018 | accessdate = December 28, 2018 | first = Michelle | last = Fitzpatrick }} 11. ^{{cite web |url=https://magicvalley.com/entertainment/games/fun-and-games-at-origins/article_b4e74ee4-9527-537c-913c-473536465970.html|title = Fun and Games at Origins 2018| work = Twin Falls Times-News|date = July 31, 2018 | accessdate = August 23, 2018 | first = Jason | last = Dean }} 12. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.dicetower.com/dice-tower-awards/2017|title = Dice Tower Awards 2017| work = Dice Tower|date = July 6, 2018 | accessdate = November 16, 2018 | first = Michael | last = Young }} 13. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.letelegramme.fr/finistere/quimper/jeux-de-societe-il-y-en-a-pour-tous-les-gouts-21-12-2018-12168903.php|title = Jeux de société.
