{"product_id":"azul","title":"Azul","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduced by the Moors, azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their king Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the game Azul, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAWARDS \u0026amp; HONORS\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 Spiel des Jahres Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 Origins Awards Best Family Game Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 Origins Awards Best Family Game Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 Mensa Select Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2018 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Meeples' Choice Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Most Innovative Board Game Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Golden Geek Best Board Game Artwork \u0026amp; Presentation Nominee\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Cardboard Republic Architect Laurel Winner\n\u003cbr\u003e2017 Cardboard Republic Architect Laurel Nominee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 826956610106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michael Kiesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:none\"\u003e106 0106 10106 610106\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Batner Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934213341272,"sku":"NMG60010ENFR","price":57.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/7564\/3992\/files\/azul.jpg?v=1775053183","url":"https:\/\/batnerbookstore.com\/products\/azul","provider":"Batner Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
