Azul

One of the Top Sellers Ghenos, winner of the Spiel des Jahres and As d'Or 2018. Nominated for the 2018 Game of the Year in Lucca.

Mathematical abstract that everyone likes: in Azul you take on the role of ceramic artists in charge of decorating the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.
The Azulejos, glazed ceramic tiles, were introduced by the Moors at the time of the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. The Portuguese began making them after their King Manuel's visit to the Alhambra palace in Granada. The king was so fascinated by their beauty and magnificence that he immediately gave the order to decorate his palace in his homeland with similar tiles.
