Azul

Azul

£13

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.

Tournament Format
Clocks - 15 mins per player. Clocks are paused whilst setting up each round
Players Per Table - 2
Rounds - 6

The tournament will use the coloured wall for all rounds

Once a group of tiles has been picked up by a player, they must place them on their board (they may not 'undo' their selection of tiles). Used tiles are placed in the game box and are available for inspection by players.

Oware is an abstract strategy game among the bigger Mancala family of board games (or Pit and Pebbles Games)

Sold out.
