Azul

Azul is a tile-placement game in which players compete for the highest score by claiming tiles and arranging them on their board to score points. Extra points are on offer for collecting sets of the same color of tile, or for creating particular patterns, while there are penalties for taking tiles that you're unable to use. But every tile that you claim affects what your rivals can take next. You'll have to make choices that help you without helping them too much! Azul, designed by world famous game author Michael Riesling, is a multiple award-winning game and is a must-own for any board game enthusiast Players will become artisans tasked with creating the most beautiful, tiled mosaics. They'll draft tiles from a central market and then place them into rows on their boards. They'll need to plan carefully to score big points while disrupting their opponents’ plans! Azul’s ruleset is simple; on a player's turn they'll select which tiles to take and play. The strategy comes in when weighing what’s available against what's needed. Taking too many of a given tile type can cost a player points, but incomplete rows won’t earn points either.  2-4 players Ages 8+ 30-45 minute play time Contents: 100 Resin Tiles 4 Player boards 9 Factory displays 4 Scoring markers 1 Starting player marker 1 Linen bag
