Azul: Crystal Mosaic

Azul: Crystal Mosaic is an expansion to the critically acclaimed, tile-placement board game Azul, designed by Michael Kiesling and published by Next Move Games. This expansion introduces new, double-sided player boards and clear, plastic overlays, enhancing the gameplay experience and adding depth to the strategic decision-making. Azul: Crystal Mosaic is designed for 2-4 players and can be played in about 30-45 minutes. It requires the base game, Azul, to play.

In the original Azul game, players take on the roles of artisans tasked with decorating the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora in Portugal with beautiful ceramic tiles. The game is played over several rounds, during which players draft tiles from shared factories, strategically place them on their player boards, and score points based on specific placement rules and completed patterns.

Azul: Crystal Mosaic adds four new double-sided player boards to the game, each with unique patterns and scoring opportunities. These new boards increase the variety of strategies and tactics available to players, encouraging fresh approaches and more replayability.

Additionally, the expansion includes four clear, plastic overlays designed to fit perfectly over the player boards. These overlays prevent tiles from accidentally shifting during play, ensuring that players can focus on their strategic decisions without worrying about disruptions to their meticulously placed patterns.

Please note that Azul: Crystal Mosaic is an expansion and requires the base game, Azul, to play. The expansion enhances the original gameplay experience, offering new strategic opportunities and a more immersive gaming experience for fans of the award-winning Azul.
