About this deal

Firstly, the player scores 1 point for each Pane Piece which matches the colour of the round track’s Pane Piece. As a glass artisan, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to demonstrate your exquisite abilities for King and country. For me the simplicity and and elegance of the original, beat out the newer choices and extended game play, but both are worthy games that should be on the shelves of folks who like lighter strategy games that allow for as much interaction with the other players at the table as they want to allow.

In fact apart from the exclamations of surprise when another player takes the very pieces you were thinking of picking up, an uncanny number of my games play in near silence. With this in mind, it only matters which Pane colors you select to place on your Palace Board when playing the “B” side. Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra builds on the Spiel-des-Jahres-winning formula of the original, using the same basic concept but offering new strategic options.We’ve kept the same drafting mechanism and placement mechanism that was so beautifully integrated in Azul.

Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra challenges players to carefully select glass panes to complete their windows while being careful not to damage or waste supplies in the process. Lastly, place the 1st Player Tile in the center of the factories and select at random 4 Panes at a time, placing them on each Factory. As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora (by Michael Kiesling). As the track lasts for the whole game it is fundamentally different from the original Azul where the negative track reset each round, so you could get away with a minimal amount of unplaced tiles each round.The introduction of new mechanisms can easily make a game feel bloated, without actually enriching the play experience. There are eight different windows on each player board, and each window wants a different set of glass. With two players the game is a fun back-and-forth battle, and with four players it becomes a more hectic game of trying to plan ahead and pulling the rug out from under other players.
