Azul Board Game - Strategy Tile Placement Board Game

I received the item sealed and in perfect condition. I'm happy with the delivery and packaging.Azul is a beautiful tile placement, pattern building game that is initially not too easy to learn, but easy to pick up. It can take around 20-30 mins per game for 2 players, but I imagine it would take longer and be more challenging for more players.The overall production quality of this game is great. Not particularly sure about the material of the tiles are but they definitely look and feel like actual tiles. There is also a pouch included, but I guess due to the gameplay, I think it would have made perfect sense to have included 2 pouches.

I found this game quite original. Although the concept is relatively straightforward there is quite a lot of strategy and tactics to master. I just really enjoy it and want to play it more and more. Once you play the standard format there is an advanced free form version on the reverse of the game board. You can also buy further tile with different designs to take things further.

Don’t be intimidated by the length of the instructions — Azul is surprisingly fast and easy. It has just enough strategy to keep it interesting, but simple enough that a group can enjoy a good conversation while playing. It’s a combination of luck of the draw and then sorting your tiles to fill empty spots in your mosaic “wall.” A 2-player game takes about 15 minutes. We haven’t tried the advanced side of the mosaic card yet.

I was hesitant because I noticed other reviewers who got this came had it come damaged. But I did anyways. Eveything looks mint. The plastic was protecting the box. The game boards are super sturdy. Everything looks mint. Haven't played it yet. Posting this in case anyone else is hesitant. I see no reason to not have this be at 5 stars.

Original shipment came in with a large hole punched through the box. The shipping box was intact so it was sent out damaged. Returned and received a new one that was in good condition.
