Azul: Summer Pavilion - More Azully Than Azul?

[@Electroporcupine]

QUINNS (presumably): "Matt, this is the second expansion of a mostly abstract game which we've reviewed before, how are you going to pad this out to a full-length video?" MATT: "I've got... some ideas..."

[@mrmonster3434]

*signs an autograph and chucks it into a talking bin* "What are we doing here?" Nope. No idea.

[@acerumble]

Cursed Bins really get worked up over autographs, as it turns out

[@siddharth_desai]

That's Azul-wang! Let's rotate the board!

[@andrewmayer4401]

This video is far less likely to star a future Oscar winner than the original.

In the American spin off it's just "That's Azul!"

Mistake at 2:53: When placing tiles in the center section, if you want to place a tile on position #3, you need 3 of the same color (or combined with wilds). You can not simply take use 3 of any color, place one, and throw the other two away.

[@WanderingLunatic]

I was about to check the rules to make sure we hadn't been playing it wrong. Yeah, this.

[@laurentlachaussee5678]

Matt is incredibly funny on his own; his unhinged type of humor resonates wonderfully well with itself

[@Captain1nsaneo]

Resonates like a struck bin.

"Technically Difficult" Amazing.

[@ShinMario098]

They really dropped the ball with Azul: Sword and Shield.

[@z-beeblebrox]

They were like "this one has all of the tiles!" and then blatantly left out Waluigi

[@BraveSirNivag]

I found Azul: Black and White really difficult.

[@RikoJAmado]

I’m a genwunner. I love the original Azul: Blue. Because Azul literally means Blue in Spanish.

[@benjaminpeecher2269]

In absolute awe of the tiny physical joke at 2:11 where he moves closer to the board for a better look with his whole body. It's so understated an well timed and I rewound to laugh at it again four times. It's a move Chaplin would have been proud of

[@diego_villena]

Matt took him out to the curb and left him there.

[@rosmith606]

RIP in pieces big bin Barry. He didn't do anything to deserve Matt's repressed rage towards Bin-kind, he was just a passionate and apologetic fan.

[@MarceldeJong]

And cursed

[@SmidgetPIU]

Definitely my favorite of the three. It feels like a much more in-line progression of design from the first one compared to Staines Glass; like this is what the second Azul should have been. The only things I don't like about it is the scoring markers and small amount space for the markers. For such a colorful game, the markers are drab both in color and design and they are fiddly to move when clumped together.

[@sigururkristmundsson479]

I fuckin love you guys! I've been bingeing these vids and I can confirm, I'd watch them even if I didn't game. Excellent production quality with a whimsical Pythonesque intelligent knuckle-headery, I love it. keep makin'em, and I'll keep watchin'em.

[@BalanceFreedomPiano]

I’ve played all three Azuls, but Summer Pavilion is the best of the three by far. It’s outstanding.

[@cameleonfleuri]

Thanks ! I think that I'll buy this Azul version, Sommer Pavilion, too!

[@Heimal]

Matt, sitting beside a talking (and cursed) bin, stares straight at the camera: "So what are we doing here?" Some nice existential dread from SU&SD.

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

You taught the center tile placement _wrong_ - you still need a set of tiles of the *same* colour (plus any wild colour tiles), but each of the six must have a different colour.

[@nickmurray5169]

Tor Iver Wilhelmsen I was questioning my sanity for a hot minute when he taught it that way.

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Since my copy is lent to a gaming cafe I had to check the rules online just to be sure I was remembering correctly.

[@thenatthegreat]

I don't know if they are right. The placement rules a vague.

[@z-beeblebrox]

wait, you need a set of tiles of the same color but they need to have a different color?

[@peteface24]

@@z-beeblebrox He means the main ones round the outside need to be the same but the ones in the centre need to be different. Wilds can be used for the outside but not the inside, as Matt incorrectly said.

Sorry, but my Azul is Azul: Strange Canon of Sintra. I feel this is like saying my favorite bit of Quinns in a review is him talking about birds facts in the wingspan review... But i'll stick with it.

[@NoPunIncluded]

That was a good review, but definitely not canon.

[@박찬우-q5m]

Oh you're a prophet now.

[@CrowQQ]

Azul and summer pavilion create good duo of games. Azul is the light and fast fun where summer pavilion is more "thinky" and slower.

[@natelabine4308]

Thought you'd sneak some zelda fairy fountain music past me eh? Not so fast.

[@BraveSirNivag]

Also Banjo Kazooie right at the start. I think writing a Pokémon reference into the script triggered some kind of N64 soundtrack explosion.

[@RobCubbon84]

I only made it a minute or so through the video before scrolling down to see if anyone else was as distracted as I by the Zelda music.

[@ErikvO]

Huh, I really expected something to happen with Matt giving a cursed object his signature...

I've enjoyed this Azul. I feel it reclaimed the simplicity of the original Azul, with a deeper strategic layer added on. My main complaint is that the score board isn't big enough to fit all the markers on a space if they are bunched up.

That's why you can stack them.

Glad I watched this. Despite having owned the game for a few months now, I missed that you lose points equal to the number of tiles taken from the centre.

be careful when making the tile art though. One wrong move and you'll summon Noel Fielding.

Will buy, but only because I want to annoy everyone by saying "That's Azulwang" all the time. Extra reasons to buy is if the rule book is 37 volumes.
