Asmodée Azul Mini - Ed. Italiana

A travel version of the classic Azul! The Azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) introduced by the Moors were adopted by the Portuguese when their King Manuel I was captivated by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles during a visit to the Alhambra Palace in southern Spain. Impressed by the splendor of the Alhambra's interior, the king immediately ordered that his palace in Portugal be adorned with similar tiles. In this abstract game, you take on the role of a ceramic artist tasked with decorating the walls of the King’s palace in Evora. Throughout the game, you must strategically select different tiles to create a beautiful mosaic on your personal game board. You earn points for placing the various tiles, including specific patterns, and are penalized for advanced tiles. The goal of the game is to have the most points at the end. The game ends after the round in which at least one player has completed a horizontal row of five consecutive game pieces on their wall.
