The Portuguese eagerly adopted them when their king, Manuel I, was captivated by the beautiful Moorish tiles during a visit to the Alhambra palace in southern Spain. The king was very impressed by the palace's exquisite interior and immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe board game Azul is easy to play but hard to master, making it fun for beginners but also a challenge for more seasoned board game enthusiasts.

The game ends when at least one player has a full horizontal line of 5 tiles on their wall, and the player who has accumulated the most points wins. Thus, you must keep an eye not only on your own wall but also on your opponents', and if you're good at maintaining an overview, you can ensure that your opponent ends up with too many unusable tiles, thereby incurring penalty points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe game consists of several rounds, each with 3 phases:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactory offer\u003c\/strong\u003e, involves taking tiles of the same color, either from the factory pieces or from the center of the table.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTile placement\u003c\/strong\u003e, this phase is performed by all players at the same time, and involves moving their tiles from their filled pattern lines to their wall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation for the next round\u003c\/strong\u003e, if no player has completed a horizontal row of 5 tiles, the next round must be prepared, in the same way as at the start of the game.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAzul includes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e100 Pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 Game boards\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e9 Factory pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 Scoring markers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 First player token\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 Fabric pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1 Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y0sUnocTRrY\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Asmodee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51046834405678,"sku":"7350065323525","price":319.95,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/2624\/2094\/files\/aa10a4ed-54de-463f-8df5-7cc690948387.jpg?v=1772658953","url":"https:\/\/cardcollective.dk\/products\/azul-nordic","provider":"Card Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
