Overview

Azul: Summer Pavilion challenges players to draft colorful star tiles and carefully place them on their individual player boards to construct a beautiful summer pavilion for the King. Unlike previous Azul games, there are no negative points for inefficient tile placement, offering more strategic freedom.

Each round, players draft tiles of different colors from the factory displays and the central supply. These tiles are then strategically placed on your player board, aiming to complete patterns and earn points. Wild tiles become available as the game progresses, offering more flexible building options. The game continues for six rounds, and the player with the most points at the end wins, proving their architectural skills to the king.
