Here we take a closer look at Azul Duel.
Out of all the tile-laying artists who have decorated the walls of King Manuel’s palace in Azul, two artists stood out. These two tile-laying masters have been chosen by his majesty to decorate the ceiling of Sintra’s palace. Players will have to show the king, in a tile-laying duel, who is the best among the best artists of all Portugal!
Azul is back and its creative possibilities just went through the roof! The roof of Sintra’s Palace that is! This exciting new offering from Asmodee and the Studio, Next Move Games is called Azul Duel and places confrontation at its core. High up in the hills overlooking Lisbon two players must go head to head to impress the king and create the most stunning vaulted ceilings for Sintra’s palace.
The original Azul released in 2017 by Plan B Games was quick to cement itself as a classic, collecting plenty of awards, including the 2018 Spiel des Jahres award, when it took the gaming world by storm. Since then there have been several iterations of the game including Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra, Summer Pavillion and Queens Garden but none that are exclusively 2 player and none as devilishly cut-throat.
This intensely fun and competitive reimagining adds extra tactical dimensions to the gameplay, whilst retaining the purity and elegance of the original game.
New stacking twists add to Azul’s already famed tile-drafting mechanics and new patterned plates give players extra choices on how to build the iconic board offering a unique layout and a unique player experience each time.
An extra challenge has also been added as players’ beautiful creations must not only impress in the Daytime but also throughout the Night!
A true stand-alone game. A must-have for all fans of two player strategy games. Azul Duel has immense depth and extreme replayability. Easy to learn but difficult to master, Azul Duel delights with countless hours of entertainment.
With its elegant design and captivating gameplay, Azul Duel offers a fresh take on the popular Azul franchise.
Azul Duel is available now priced around £27.49 and is aimed at players aged 10 and up, and is for 2 players and an average game will take mourned 45 minutes to complete.
