Azul: Crystal Mosaic [EN]

Azul: Crystal Mosaic is an expansion for Azul. You therefore need the base game to play it. The box contains new, double-sided player boards and transparent plastic overlays.

The boards have different patterns and different penalty points than in the base game. The overlays lie on your board and keep your tiles and score sheet better in place.

You play Azul just as you’re used to. Only your player board is different. Here’s how a game works:

• Choose your board: you choose a new board and side together. Add the overlay if you like.
• Take tiles: take all tiles of one color from a factory or from the center.
• Fill rows: place the tiles in a row on your board. Anything that doesn’t fit goes to the floor and costs points.
• Score points: when a row is full, one tile slides to your wall. How that tile is placed determines your points.

Example: on one of the new boards, a space counts double. If you place a tile there, you get twice as many points for that tile.

You win just like in Azul: the player with the most points at the end wins.

• New challenge The new boards have different patterns and different penalty points. You play a familiar game in a new way.
• Neater on the table The overlays keep your tiles and score sheet better in place. That's nice if your table wobbles a bit.
• Choose yourself You choose which board and which side you play. That makes every game just a little bit different.
