In Azul: Summer Pavilion from Next Move Games and Asmodee, players are tasked to tile the floors of King Manual’s Summer Pavilion - a building intended to honor prestigious members of Portugal’s royal family.

At the turn of the 16th century, King Manuel I commissioned Portugal's greatest artisans to construct grandiose buildings. After completing the palaces of Dvora and Sintra, the King sought to build a summer Pavilion to honor the most famous members of the royal family. This construction was intended for the most talented artisans - whose skills meet the splendor that the royal family deserves.

Sadly, King Manuel I died before construction ever began. In azul: summer Pavilion, players return to Portugal to accomplish the task that never began. As a master artisan, you must use the finest materials to create the summer Pavilion while carefully avoiding wasting supplies.

Only the best will rise to the challenge to honor the Portuguese royal family. Azul: summer pavilion lasts six rounds, and in each round players draft tiles, then place them on their individual player board to score points. Each of the six colors of tiles is wild during one of the rounds.

Fans will immediately recognize the core Azul style drafting but will be intrigued by the new scoring mechanisms based on set collection and pattern building. Players will also appreciate the new style tiles found in the box - elongated diamonds and stunning player and scoring boards. Azul: Summer Pavilion is a feast for the mind and eyes!
