But a lot of folks aren’t going to like that, as it takes what made Azul a nearly perfect game and obfuscated what made it so endearing to so many people.

As members of an elite disease control team in the Pandemic board game, you must keep four deadly diseases at bay. One way is a simple multiplier, you take the color of glass you have the most of on the bottom of your player board and you multiply that times the number of completed (two pieces) windows on your player board. Once all the Pane Pieces have been taken from the Factories and the centre of the table, then the round is complete and the Pane Piece from the round track for that round is placed in the Glass Tower. Introduced by the Moors, “azulejos” (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese, when their King Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles.She moves a tile to the lower section, then flips the column over, discarding the remaining 4 tiles.

In the coming round, she will take her turn first, but this extra tile moves her down a space on the minus-points track. While the games are similar, what you’re looking for in a game can determine which of these similar games you pick up. Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra is the sequel to the incredibly popular Azul, from the same designer, Michael Kiesling, and the same publisher, Next Move Games. A big part of Stained Glass of Sintra is figuring out which windows you’ll be able to finish this round, which ones you can set up to finish next round, where you might get a bonus for tiles of a specific color, and how you’re going to manage the position of your glazier. Instead of taking glass on your turn, you can pass and reset your glazier fully to the left of your player board, sometimes you’ll do this out of necessity and other times it will be more of a stall tactic.When you select your colored Panes you are able to place them on a Strip that is either occupied by your Glazier or any to its right. In Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra players are challenged to select colourful glass panes to adorn the windows of the chapel of the Palace of Sintra in Portugal. Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra (created by Michael Kiesling) is a standalone game for two to four players – it is not an expansion to Azul.
