The box art for the board game Azul. Azul is written in the center of the box in stylized font and on a plate with blue embellishments. Surrounding the plate are squares of decorated tiles in bright oranges, yellows, teals, and blacks.

Azul is a tile-placement game in which players compete for the highest score by claiming tiles and arranging them on their board to score points. Extra points are on offer for collecting sets of the same color of tile, or for creating particular patterns, while there are penalties for taking tiles that you’re unable to use. But every tile that you claim affects what your rivals can take next. You’ll have to make choices that help you without helping them too much!

A board game for 2-4 players, recommended for ages 8+.
