Azul is a tile-drafting game about selecting useful colors without collecting pieces you cannot place. Each selection changes what remains for the other players, so its mosaic theme conceals a direct tactical contest. It is a useful option for two to four people who prefer visual decisions to long card text or negotiation. Scoring depends on arranging tiles and completing valuable patterns, while unused tiles can cost points. This is the original standalone Azul game. Choose it when you want a compact rules framework with repeated choices about timing, placement and the shared supply.
