Introduced by the Moors; azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their king Manuel I; on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain; was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king; awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra; immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile-laying artist; you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.
In the game Azul; players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round; players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
