You're the only reviewer I've seen who has bothered to get these all out. Great idea.

[@lindaberman477]

You're comparison is excellent! You've condensed a lot of information in a short video. Thanks!

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thank you :D

[@chad5933]

Was curious about these games, you did such a good job being concise and clear of each games variations 👍 Thank you for making this video! So helpful.

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thanks, really glad you found it helpful, mission accomplished :D

[@peppyfanvids315]

Thank you for making this! I played Summer Pavilion back in 2019 and enjoyed it so much I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I hadn't had a chance to play the previous versions so your comparison was really helpful.

[@scyldscefing3913]

I have the original Azul, and have always loved it. I bought Stained Glass as a house warming gift for some friends, and was able to play that. I have to say I like Stained Glass better, but not enough to buy it. One Azul is enough. Plus, I can play Stained Glass whenever I visit my friends.

[@Game4LifeBG]

That's true I also have games I like but don't own but my friends have them. Azul is just one of the few games, where I kind of want them all ;)

[@yedidyafriedler974]

Very good comparison, really helped me to decide between the 1st and newest version of the game. I also liked the segment at the end when you explained which one you enjoyed the best. Great video!

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thank you very much :D

[@ZoIntax]

Thank you so much for your comparison and gameplay videos. I had my eye on the series but had yet to pick one up. I finally saw Sintra and Pavilion at my local game store today and wasn't sure which one to get. After watching your explanations I immediately rushed back to pick up the one copy they had of Summer Pavilion. A few play-throughs later in the night and I have no regrets. :)

[@Game4LifeBG]

Awesome, glad you are enjoying the game and you managed to get the last copy, wouldn't have been fun if it was sold out after you had made up your mind :D

[@jeffrainwater4084]

Awesome overview Helle! Great comparison of the three! Your videos are awesome! I love you both so much!

[@Game4LifeBG]

Jeff Rainwater thanks a lot ❤️

[@rudirincewind6449]

I don't understand why some people doesen't like Sintra or Summer Pavillon. Btw i like your Channel, good work!

[@Game4LifeBG]

My guess is they like how simple and quick the game is, there is more rules and thinking in the other versions. Thanks :D

[@barbaramazzocca4605]

I love these Azul games. Once done playing, I want to play again! I have the original and Summer Pavilion. The newest one, Queen's Garden also looks like fun!

[@Game4LifeBG]

It's the most different one and even more puzzly ;)

[@Katsoulinos]

The best video about Azul. Informative and in-depth. Thank you for uploading it. I have Azul and after I saw your comparison, I decided to get "glass of Sintra" at once. I will certainly get summer pavilion also after some game time with "glass of Sintra".

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thank you so much, really happy you enjoyed the comparison. Hope you'll have fun with Glass of Sintra and later Summer Pavilion :D

[@Katsoulinos]

@@Game4LifeBG Got "Glass of Sintra" and "Summer Pavilion" both as promised... Thank you once more for your helpful video.

[@IQuitWoWForThis]

I like your video very much. I do have to say though, that i would have loved to see the alternative game modes of the games, since they offer a more or less drastic change to how the game plays. Edit: Oh i just saw that you linked in-depth videos of each version in the description... :)

Always love your reviews! Thank you :)

[@singsongcindy8865]

Hello. I am a big fan of your game reviews. I love azul, and the summer pavilion version, I have been toying with whether it is worth it to by the stained glass version as well. Based on comparison, I AM getting the stained glass also. It will keep the gameplay fresh for me and my gaming buddy. Thank you for doing an EXCELLENT comparison. You have a logical manner, and a clear speaking voice

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Hopefully I'll soon make a video of the newest version Azul Queens Garden ;)

[@Panda-qj5xj]

Thanks for the great comparison. I haven't played the second Azul, but I'm loving the new Azul: Summer Pavilion. I enjoy it much more than the original.

[@MrMoreMoe]

This is a great comparison. I like you enjoyed the first one and now the summer pavilion is my fav. I would love to see if they're going to do another one.

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thank you. My guess is that they will make a new Azul next year. I know for sure they will come with an expansion for Azul, with new boards and plastic overlays :D boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/294345/azul-crystal-mosaic

[@guillermoz4914]

At first I thought one Azul was enough, especially when Sintra came out, I didn’t like the skinny long player boards that can be flipped and removed. Now that Summer Pavilion came out, I love the look, closer to the 1st Azul with a bit more combos. Will definitely Keep Azul and add Summer.P to my collection . Thanx for this video

[@Game4LifeBG]

You're welcome, if I could only choose 2 Azul games, then it would be the same as you mentioned #1 and #3 :)

[@Nina-zm4ej]

My sister has the original one and the expansion for more players, but we live in different states so I can only play during the holidays when we get together. I've been thinking of getting one myself but wasn't sure if I should get the same one or a different one. And if a different one, which one. So this is an amazing video for me because I can compare the 3 all next to each other. Thanks a lot! ❤️

[@Game4LifeBG]

I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks :)

[@hidalgoma]

Nice video!!!! Wow really well explained... Thumbs up!

[@Game4LifeBG]

hidalgoma thank you very much 😊

[@rcarimor]

Thanks for the comparisons!!! I'm gonna stick with the third instalment i think! Keep the good work at your videos :) greetings from Brazil :)

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thanks, you're welcome, greetings from Denmark :D

[@sirousfarahi831]

👍👍👍

[@Physiology-E-Paathshala]

Originals whether of games or movies are always best...Sequels are always second best or even lame

[@jonathandavid6631]

Great video! Thank you. Still can't decide which version to get - I want all of them!

[@Game4LifeBG]

Thanks, it can be hard to decide :)

[@Oaklestat]

Thank you. Good comparison

[@lasocieteenjeux7068]

I don’t speak very well english so i don’t understand all your explanation. I have already Azul 1, can you specify me if Azul 2 and Azul 3 is useful or if there are few differences ?

[@ayahoo16]

1 was the best 3 was the worst just like the Matrix IMO

[@Game4LifeBG]

Hi Steven, that’s the good thing with games we all have different preferences. All I can do is show and explain the games and come with my opinion. Then it’s up to people to figure out if a game is something they will enjoy playing 😃 does that mean you don’t like The Matrix (movie)🤔

[@mighty_scrap]

I don't like the scoring boards.... It's too small/fragile 🤔

[@Game4LifeBG]

They are a bit fragile, you have to be careful not to push them over when you play. No long sleeves when you play this game 😉
