Description

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.
