Azul Board Game

Description

HighlightsHigh quality components and fun, accessible gameplayFun tile drafting and tile placement mechanicsFor 2 - 4 artisans, age 8 and up30-40 minutes average playtimeAzul was designed by the world famous, award winning game author Michael Kiesling. Azul captures the beautiful aesthetics of Moorish art in a contemporary board game. Players compete as artisans decorating the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. By carefully drafting the correct quantity and style of tiles, the cleverest of artisans plan ahead to maximize the beauty of their work (not to mention their scores!) while ensuring they wasted no supplies in the process. 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.Suggested Age: 8 Years and UpMaterial: CardstockType of Game: Strategy and war gamesPlaying Time: 30-45 MinutesIncludes: Tiles, boards, markers, carrying case, instructionsLevel of Difficulty: IntermediateCPSC Choking Hazard Warnings: Choking_hazard_small_partsPackage type: Full gameNumber of Players: 2-4 PlayersTCIN: 53287255UPC: 826956600107Item Number (DPCI): 087-10-3939If the item details above aren’t accurate or complete, we want to know about it.
