Description
In Azul, players compete to beautifully decorate the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. As artisans, you'll draft colorful tiles from factories to your player board. Carefully plan your layout to maximize points, as certain patterns and sets will reward you handsomely.

However, be wary! Wasted tiles will incur penalties, so balancing risk and reward is key. The game ends when one player has completed a horizontal line of tiles on their wall, and the player with the most points wins.
