Azul captures the beautiful aesthetics of Moorish art in a modern board game. Players compete as artisans decorating the walls of the Royal Palace of Évora. By carefully selecting the right quantity and style of tiles, the smartest artisans plan ahead to maximize the beauty of their work while ensuring no material is wasted in the process.
Imported by the Arabs, the “azulejos” (initially white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully adopted by the Portuguese when King Manuel I, during his visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was captivated by the impressive beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, dazzled by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered his own palace in Portugal to be decorated with similar wall tiles.
