Reclaiming Wonders
A tabletop image showcasing the Portuguese board game Azul, known for its striking blue and white tiles adorned with intricate patterns inspired by traditional Portuguese tiles. The game board displays a gridded scoring area surrounded by ornate borders featuring Moorish-inspired geometric designs. Scattered around the board are various tile pieces in vibrant colors like blue, red, yellow, and black, each intricately patterned. Several small cloth bags contain additional tiles, allowing players to draw and replenish their supply. The rich, warm hues of the wooden table surface create a striking contrast against the cool tones of the game components, lending an inviting and cozy atmosphere to the scene.

The Vibrant Allure of Azul: A Tile-Laying Adventure

Azul. I just like the colors and the tiles and feeling a bit exotic ;) . . This game was overwhelming at first. I had to watch several videos, and even then, I didn’t understand until we started playing. . . And playing. And playing. It’s relatively quick once you figure it out and doesn’t have a ton of set up. . . I do feel a bit like I’m an old Chinese lady playing Mah Jong with little markers shuffling ;) . . It’s a keeper.
