Azul
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.
As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. 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.

Reviews of Azul
If it wasn’t obvious enough already, I highly recommend Azul for anyone with the remotest interest in lighter, more colourful and more cerebral games that rely on wit, a certain amount of planning and the ability to respond to unexpected sequences of events. I genuinely mean it when I say that almost anyone can play it. - Read more at Big Boss Battle
