Game of the Month - Azul

I’d been looking at this game for a while, we got to play it with our friends, we like it that much hubby bought it for my birthday (back in September). I thought that I had given it ‘Game of the Month’ back then but it must have been bumped by something else. (looks back at blog posts - yes it was bumped by Hey that’s my fish) This is a tile placement game, you are creating a lovely pattern within your castle. There is a little bit of thinking and strategy but not too much, even I can do it, but you can screw over your opponents which is rather fun.

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.
