Azul

Each player takes a player board. Place the factory displays in a circle (2 per player plus 1). Put all 100 tiles in the bag. Draw 4 tiles per factory display and place them. The starting player gets a first player marker.

1. On your turn, choose all tiles of one color from one factory display (or the center).
2. Place them on the left side of your board's pattern lines (one line per row).
3. Excess tiles go to the floor line (negative points).
4. If you take the first tile from the center, also take the starting player marker (goes on floor as -1).
5. At round end, move one tile from each completed pattern line to the right side wall.
6. Refill factories with new tiles.

Points are earned during wall tiling: 1 point for the tile itself, plus points for adjacent tiles horizontally and vertically (each adjacent tile gives 1 point). Negative points from the floor line are subtracted. The first player to complete a horizontal line triggers final round; highest score wins.

Azul Summer Pavilion uses a different board and wild tiles. Azul Stained Glass of Sintra adds a glazier tower.
