Azul Mini board game

Azul Mini is the compact travel edition of the abstract strategy game inspired by the tile-makers of Portugal. Players draft colourful tiles from the displays and place them on their personal wall to score as many points as possible. Every choice affects your own options and those of your opponents, so careful, forward-looking tactics are rewarded.

The rules can be explained in about five minutes, and a game takes around 20 to 30 minutes. The board can be played in an easier or a more challenging version, so the difficulty can be adjusted to suit the group. Its attractive artwork makes it a pleasant addition to any table.

The small format fits easily into a bag or backpack, so the game can be played on the go. It is suitable for 2 to 4 players aged 8 and up.
