Azul Mini

From someone who has not played the full size version I love this! Was looking for something easy to pack for holiday and this was perfect. Many hours spent playing in the evenings. The size is perfect to pack in a suitcase and love that it comes with its own carry bag so you don’t have to use the box. The quality is amazing and love the tactile tiles, it’s so pretty and is a fun and easy game to pick up. It also comes with an option to create your own wall so the complexity can be changed. Great game with lots of replayability and good for couples or larger groups alike

Son’s review: When I discovered that my mum yearned to play Azul but would not buy it herself, I instantly decided that it would soon be my gift to her for Christmas. However, after a thorough check on various buying options, I found that it was not a game that I could afford to purchase. Disheartened at this realisation, I decided to conduct further searches on different similar games. It was then that I spontaneously found an item that caught my eye: Azul Mini, £19.00. After a complete research on this affordable version of Azul, I came to the conclusion that it was a satisfactory enough game. A few days after Christmas, my mother and I read the rules and played the game for the first time. We both found it an exceptional version of Azul in all different areas, ranging from price to quality. The rules were also perfectly clear and straightforward. The construction of the game itself was also satisfactory. With regards to the game itself, the components are of a quality that exceeded my expectations greatly. It lives up to its purpose of being a travel version, containing 4 sturdy game boards, a small plastic game tray and an ornate bag that contains the intricately decorated plastic tiles. When first shipped, everything is contained in a simple yet colourful box. Overall, it is an extremely fun, enjoyable experience.

I love this game, many hours of family entertainment, beautiful and fun. I much prefer this mini version to the standard size - same rules, etc just more convenient size to play. BUT the cardboard box is awful considering this is supposed to be the portable version.

It's a VERY good game!! Everything clips on. Nothing flying around! I love it!

Great game. A bit tricky to get the hang of the first time you play it but once you understand how it works it’s a really fun game for 2 or more players.

Fun little game, perfect travel kit. The whole thing could be carried in the handy bag it comes with which is space saving for travel. The tiles have a nice feel. The boards are a little flimsy, especially the counter slider but it is a travel set so some compromise had to be made I guess. its a fun strategy game with much more to it than at first meets the eye.

Azul is a fun game for 2-4 players. This mini version is ideal for travelling as it is even more compact than the original, and has been well-designed to keep pieces in place whilst playing. Gameplay is exactly the same as the full-size version, and it is beautifully made. Bought as a gift but might just have to buy another one for me!

Great game once you get the hang of it! Watch a YouTube video to help :) travel version is plenty big enough and great for long airport waits.

This is a fun game and perfect little travel size. Colourful and thought provoking. Only downside is the bag that comes with it for storing tiles only has one popper fastener instead of a drawstring, had a few accidents with spilling tiles out so just have to be extra mindful. Would defo recommend.

Pros - Easy to learn and teach. - Fast to setup and play (less than 30 minutes). - Doesn't require a huge table. - Replayable because of the competition among players and the different scoring paths. - Not multiplayer solitaire. The competition among players makes everyone adapt constantly to make the most out of the current state of the board and always be one step ahead of the opponents. Decisions are divided between best for me or worst for them. - The game design is brilliantly simple! Just like in the games Reef and Century Eastern Wonders, the rules here are so simple yet very strategic and tactical (though more on tactical). - I have the Azul mini version. The design of the tiles and the scores wouldn't slide around even when moved. It is also small and can be easily carried around. Cons - It is confusing that there are 2 types of blue tiles, they could have chosen another color for more clarity such as green. There is a blue tile and there is also a blue tile with a bit of white, making it confusing to describe. - I bought the Azul mini version. The box is trash! It is so hard to get the game and also hard to put it back. It isn't the usual "open the lid" type of box but rather like the cereal boxes.

One of the best gateway board games!

muy buen juego, es sencillo de jugar pero tambien tiene bastante maña para entretener ya que los jugadores compiten entre si para tomar lo mejor y dejar a los otros jugadores con cosas que le quitan puntos. Que tenga la plantilla acrilica para calzar las piezas y llevar puntos es un plus.

Excellent quality travel version of this game.
