{"product_id":"azul","title":"Azul","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Michael Kiesling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Next Move Games and Plan B Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e2019 UK Games Expo Best Abstract Game People's Choice Winner\u003cbr\u003e2019 UK Games Expo Best Abstract Game Judges Award Winner\u003cbr\u003e2019 MinD-Spielepreis Short Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2019 Gra Roku Best Artwork Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Tric Trac d'Argent\u003cbr\u003e2018 Spiel des Jahres Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Origins Awards Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Mensa Select Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 JUGuinho Families Game of the Year Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Juego del Año Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Guldbrikken Best Adult Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Gouden Ludo Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Deutscher Spiele Preis Best Family\/Adult Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Boardgames Australia Awards Best International Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Winner\u003cbr\u003e2018 Årets Spill Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2017 Meeples' Choice Winner\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2017 Cardboard Republic Architect Laurel Winner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boardgamist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53353015607562,"sku":"PBG40020","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/7483\/9050\/files\/Azul__03075.1638822616.386.513.png?v=1783833335","url":"https:\/\/boardgamist.com\/products\/azul","provider":"Boardgamist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
