How to Play Azul Guide

What is Azul about?

The king, mesmerised by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately orders his palace in Portugal to be decorated with similar wall tiles.

In Azul, players compete and use different wall tiles to artfully embellish the Royal Palace of Evora walls for the king.

In the game, you will set up a factory of tiles and each player will have a player board that tracks their tile patterns as well as tiled walls.

The game is played over multiple rounds.

Each round involves the following:

  1. Players taking turns to pick tiles from the factory or the centre and attempt to complete patterns on their board
  2. Once the patterns are completed, players attempt to move them to their walls. Once a tile is placed on the wall, points are scored. There are also situations where players lose points for tiles that are not used.

The game ends when at least one player has completed a horizontal line of 5 consecutive tiles on their wall.

Players tabulate their scores and the person with the highest score wins.
