Find your internal artist in this lovely, simple game of artful tile design. The theme comes from azulejos tiles that were originally created by the Moors and became famous when King Manuel I of Portugal decorated his palace with them.
Game play is simple, but the game is not overly simplistic! Players take turns drafting tiles for their board from shared supply piles in the middle of the table. There's a lot of strategy involved in selecting your tiles, both to fill your own board and to block other players from filling theirs. Points are earned for completing designs on your player board, with bonus points for certain combinations. You also lose points at the end for tiles you cannot place. Your strategy needs to be balanced between offense (taking tiles your opponent needs) and defense (ensuring you are completing your own designs).
