The Art of Tiling
In each round of Azul, players select tiles from factory displays and strategically place them to complete patterns and score points. But every tile matters — poor planning or greed can leave you with penalties. The game rewards spatial awareness, timing, and just the right amount of tactical blocking. It’s a delicate balance of form and function.
