Azul: Summer Pavilion

Azul: Summer Pavilion

Azul: Summer Pavilion is the third entry in the Azul series — and for many, the best one. You're decorating a stunning summer palace with colourful tiles, collecting sets and placing them in a beautiful star-shaped pattern on your personal board.

What sets this version apart is the wild tile mechanic and the more forgiving scoring system. Unlike the original Azul, you're never penalized for tiles you can't place — which opens up the game to more varied strategies and makes it a more relaxed but still deeply engaging experience.

🎲 What We Think at WiredVillage

This is our favourite in the Azul series. The wild tiles add a fantastic layer of flexibility, and the fact that you're not punished for unplaced tiles takes away the stress while keeping all the strategic depth. There are so many different ways to approach your scoring that every game feels fresh. If you're only going to own one Azul, this is the one we'd recommend.
