Azul: Summer Pavilion Board Game

Mid-range Strategy & Cooperative

Our verdict

Azul: Summer Pavilion keeps the tile-drafting heart of the original and gives it a new shape: players draft diamond-shaped tiles and build them into star patterns on their own boards, with a different colour going wild each round. It suits families and couples who already like Azul and want a prettier, slightly more puzzle-like follow-up that still teaches in minutes. The star boards look striking on the table, and the rotating wild colour keeps every round feeling different. The trade-off is that it is a gentler, more solitary puzzle than the original — there is less direct interaction between players, so groups who enjoy blocking each other may find it quieter.
