In this chapter of the popular Azul series, you act as a garden designer commissioned by King Manuel the First to create the most extraordinary garden for his wife, Queen Maria of Aragon.
Over 4 rounds, you draft tiles and garden expansions to arrange patterns and colors in the garden. The 6 patterns are the heart of the game and will allow you to decorate your garden. You must take all hexagons of the same pattern or the same color. But space is limited! If you can’t fit your selection, you can’t take it.
Moreover, to place a tile, or an expansion, you must pay its value by discarding other hexagons from your storage. And the placement has some restrictions too: tiles must be placed adjacent to others sharing either the same color or same pattern, but never both.
Azul: Queen’s Garden differs from other titles of the series in that regard: everything you build has a price. This isn’t just a game of "take and place”; it is a game of calculated sacrifice. And more than that, you aren't just playing against others; you are competing with yourself to see how much beauty you can create from a handful of tiles.
You are conducting a silent symphony of colors. There is beauty in logic and a dream to build something that lasts. But will you manage to balance the King's demands with your own artistic vision?
