Azul – The Award-Winning Tile Drafting Board Game by Michael Kiesling
Inspired by the stunning decorative azulejo tiles introduced to Portugal by the Moors, Azul invites you to step into the role of a tile-laying artist, tasked with embellishing the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. Compete against 1–3 other players to pick the most beautiful tiles, complete pattern lines, and tile your palace wall — all while cleverly blocking your opponents and maximising your score.
Azul won the prestigious Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award and has become one of the most celebrated modern board games worldwide. Its blend of simple rules, beautiful components, and deep strategic depth makes it perfect for families, couples, and game enthusiasts alike.
How to Play (3 Simple Steps)
Step 1 – Pick Tiles On your turn, pick all tiles of the same colour from any factory display or from the general offer in the centre.
Step 2 – Align Your Tiles Place the chosen tiles on one of your pattern lines on your player board — building towards completing full rows.
Step 3 – Tile Your Wall & Score Points At the end of each round, completed pattern lines move to your wall. Score points for adjacency and completed rows, columns, and colours. The player with the most points at the end wins!
