One of the standouts during this year’s Prime Day sale has been board games, and one of the best is Azul from Asmodee, on sale for $20.99 and is part of the limited time offer where if you spend $40 you save $10 off your order too. With colorful mosaic tiles, 2-4 players take turns picking out designs that will fill out spaces on their board to earn points. It’s one of those games that fits the “easy to learn, tough to master” category, and is one of my favorite games to introduce to folks that are both new to the board gaming hobby and also to those that already have a sizable collection themselves.

With its colorful plastic tiles, playing a game of Azul looks as lovely looking as it is to play, and thanks to its alternate versions (also on sale), you can pick whatever theme speaks more to you and your game group. Is stained glass more your style? Then maybe Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra and its window panes may be for you, or Azul: Summer Pavilion if bright summery tiles are more alluring to you. Each version may have slight tweaks or additional mechanics to it, but the core game system is similar regardless of the version you get.
Summertime makes me think of spending time outside with friends and family, whether at the park, a beach, or enjoying a cold one at a local brewery, and Azul is the perfect game to take with you and set up on a warm summer evening. Set up takes minutes, and games only take about half an hour. Look no further than Azul if you’re looking for a chill new game to play with your friends.
