Ranking ALL the Azul Games! | Guide to Your Azul Journey | Abstract Tile Placement Standard!

Which Azul is your favorite? Have you played them all? Which one would you want to try?

[@andyliebermann5244]

I've got the original and summer pavilion. I can't pick a favourite but my wife definitely prefers the original. I haven't played Sintra, it seemed silly to get a stained glass game when I already have Sagrada. Queen's Garden looks neat, something a little different.

[@marcelrombouts8607]

Recently AZUL mini became the no-brainer I think. It's not just a travel game done right. It's a travel version of AZUL done right and, at a much lower pricepoint, the best bang-for-buck way to get your azul on right now.

[@kovray]

@@marcelrombouts8607 Yessss! Mini is so good!

[@Jayl__]

Time to add chocolate to your comparisom

[@kovray]

@@Jayl__ oooo true!

[@brad1251]

Thank you for this! I love the base and have been debating another one. You hit all the points that were up for debate, including your superlatives. Queens Garden was the front runner already. Getting it!

[@kovray]

So happy we could help! Let us know how your plays of Queen's Garden go!

[@rockspyder3970]

We have them all, and play them all. Our daily favorite is Queen’s Garden.

[@kovray]

I adore Queens Garden! It’s such a delightful puzzle

[@dextro808]

i love how you guys are clearly having fun, it's so infectious!

[@kovray]

Board games are all about joy! Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@inkavandenbogaart1739]

I have played the first azul and the queens garden, liked both of them very much. Summer pavilion is in my collection but haven't played it yet.

[@kovray]

Oooo let me know once you try it! Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@ChrisAwake]

Thanks for the video guys - helped me to choose which one to go with

[@kovray]

Our pleasure! Which one did you end up leaning towards?

[@malvinafis6907]

Great designs all around.only played 1 and 2 so far. Really enjoyed

[@kovray]

They're quite special games for sure! Hope you get the opportunity to try the others soon!

[@jkledis]

Thanks Guys - so I just have the base and I am satisfied with it. However, hearing you talk about them I am going to try to play them at my board game cafe!!!!

[@kovray]

You'll have to come back and share your thoughts! We'd love to hear what you think and which you tried!

[@Paper_Smith]

Having the boxes look this pretty side by side is dangerous for my board game addiction 😂

[@kovray]

They’re gorgeous and beautifully produced games for sure.

[@jeroenofferman1974]

Base Azul is the best, Queens's Garden is my favorite. I love the elegance of the original game. But after playing it a trillion times I enjoy the challenge of something meatier, which is what Queen's Garden offers.

[@kovray]

I agree wholeheartedly the original is just SO GOOD!

[@TheBoardGameGarden]

You guys having all four makes the completionist in me so happy. We only own Summer Pavilion and absolutely love it. I’ve played the original on BGA as well. Honestly I’m very tempted to get the original physically because it’s so good. Ultimately I would love to have all 4 like you guys because wow! Looks so good. 👏🏻 loved the video!

[@kovray]

The original is just unlike any other, it's such a special game in my opinion!

[@juliek3952]

very interesting video just what i needed

[@kovray]

Yay! So glad you found it helpful ! Hope you’re having an amazing weekend Julie!

[@Worldtinkerer]

Azul is a big favorite in my family, especially with my mom. But we haven't tried any of the others yet! Curious to test them eventually.

[@kovray]

It’s definitely one of our favorites to show as well ! Hope you get the chance to try them all out :)

[@karenpatterson2651]

Perfect video on prob my favourite series of games. My list would be 4. Stained glass - board pieces very fiddly and difficult to keep together. Wish they had difficult colour (green or purple) instead of clear white colour tile. 3. Original - great first game and wouldn't change anything 2. Summer pavilion - love the wild tile aspect and getting tiles from central board as rewards for achieving things 1. Queens garden - love the colour and picture elements. Although def wish only had 1 version of each colour with maybe pink or teal added instead.

[@kovray]

Karen your comments always put the biggest smile on our faces! Appreciate your insight and perspective. I do wish they created almost an outline to put your panels in because you're right it is a bit fiddly at times.

[@karenpatterson2651]

@@kovray the feeling is mutual as your videos always put a smile on my face too.

[@catherinetz-pg9jc]

I own the original Azul and Queen's Garden! They are both great and pretty different despite being of the same gerne. My family loves the Azul series, original is more friendly for non-gamers, QG is a bit harder. I was wondering if Summer Pavillion is a must have or should I skip it? What game do you suggest which is more like QG, beez or cascadia ?

[@kovray]

Hmm we haven’t actually played Beez so hard to say, but Cascadia is wonderful! Summer Pavilion is many people’s favorite, so if it appeals to you definitely give it a whirl!

[@Candyflames123]

I have the original and summer pavilion love them both but summer pavilion is my favourite Love it!!!!!

[@kovray]

They’re all such fantastic games!

[@youngone282]

There is a 2022 version you’ll have to get and add to your ranking, Azul chocolatier

[@kovray]

I do really want that version, it looks simply delicious!

[@FrederikDeDeyne]

@@kovrayit’s basically the base game but with other colors and a solo mode.

[@NothingReallyMatters08]

I've only played the first one and only have played it on bga and I'm obsessed! I love it so much! I wan to get a copy in the future so I can play it with my fam💛

[@kovray]

Definitely a great family game! My (Ilya) mom and sister absolutely loved it!

[@twinkle04evr]

I have only played the first and Summer Pavilion, want to try all of them. I like Summer Pavilion better , the first one is too simple for our taste. We do have Sagrada, Calico and Cascadia. Sagrada is my favorite, never get bored of Sagrada.

[@kovray]

Have you heard of Sagrada Artisans? It’s a legacy game coming out soon! We’re super excited for it as we also love Sagrada

[@twinkle04evr]

I have the expansion for 5 to. 6 players, but I have to check out Artisan, thanks

[@boardgamequeens]

Summer Pavilion! But I’ve only played that one and base Azul.

[@kovray]

They're all just so magical. If you love Summer Pavilion you would simply adore Queen's Garden!

[@blueseqperl]

I enjoy the base game. I'm willing to play any of them.

[@kovray]

Same here! Will never turn down a game of Azul!

[@LuxisAlukard]

Played only the first one (love it), and I like blank side of the board more. It's harder mode, but I think it's more fun because of that =)

[@kovray]

I love the back side of the board! Quite tricky at times

[@annacarty5214]

I have all four and queens garden is my favourite but all very close

[@kovray]

They're all extremely close to me too (Ilya)!

[@aba_dab_o]

Thanks for the video! (Catching up.) So, yeah, own all of them. Only have played the first two. The original Azul has been played multiple times in gaming groups and in family get-togethers. Stained Glass I've played a few times in gaming groups. I think I still have to deem the original Azul the best. Hopefully will play Stained Glass more and the latter two, whenever the pandemic _significantly_ dies down and such. Probably the biggest catch to Queen's Garden is the tile colors, as tiles' colors and patterns in the first three are the same throughout, but color and pattern vary across all tiles in Queen's Garden and may be a colorblind issue to some.

[@kovray]

Look forward to hearing what you think of the other two once you have the chance to play. The original is just so good!

[@ryanvalencia6745]

Great video! :) Summer Pavilion is my favourite. Vanillazul a little too punishing and “take that”-y for my taste

[@kovray]

Super fair, Summer Pavilion seems to be a lot of peoples favorites, I (Ilya) should definitely play it more!

[@andrzejpirog8289]

NOT ALL

[@kovray]

You're right! Now there's chocolatier and the mini version too! And all those beautiful tiles you can order. Sorry to have let you down.
