I would say that this by far is the easiest video I've ever watched to understand the game. I've watched many how to play videos of this game and I couldn't understand it. After watching this, I've finally understood it. Thank you!!!
Finally-Thank you. I’ve watched three videos showing how this game is played. Yours is the first that truly made me understand why this game is popular. I went out and bought it this afternoon. Thanks for the wonderful video and the easily understandable instructions.
Great explanation on how to play. However you were talking about how you should NOT look at your competitors board. I think that's half the strategy. Blocking them or taking what they need if you can still use it. Played w my 9 yr old tonight for the first time and she was like ohh you want that so I'm taking it hehehe. I almost high fived her for strategy.
I really enjoyed this thanks! I have played once and didnt truly understand it, but now I feel confident that I can both play, and explain the rules. Have just purchased Azul online, cant wait for it to arrive.
one of the best video to understand this game! jst a question: are you sure that it's possible to put the tiles of the same color in 2 or more different rows (left side)? cheers form italy! 🙂
Watched a pretty number of videos earlier. Those were not helpful. Your video explains the game so easily from the very beginning to its end. Just loved it! Have got only 1 qs. The situation is: I have 1 red tile in the second row and 2 red tiles on the fourth row of the pattern lines. On my turn, i pick 3 red tiles. Now, can i put 1 red tile in the second row and 2 in the fourth row (avoiding any negative scoring) or i have to put all 3 in the same row at a time (putting the extra tiles in the floor line)?
We aren't aware of any rules that prohibit a player from starting or finishing more than 1 of the same color row. :) If you find it, please let us know!
I re-read the rules and don't see it mentioned, so I think you got it right. I watched some other videos and thought I heard them say you could not. I don't recall which and could have misunderstood. That being said, depending what other tiles are still available it may not be a great strategy since then there will be another color that cannot be placed for sure and will end up on the "floor". Then again if the other color is not there still then you would be ok.
Thanks again for the videos. Can we have multiple incomplete rows of the same color? Or do we need to finish one before starting another? Again rules don't say so I assume it is up to us?
"Any tiles you have picked that you cannot or do not want to place according to the rules, you must place in your floor line, filling its spaces from left to right. These tiles are considered as having fallen on the floor and give minus points in the Wall-tiling phase. If all spaces of your floor line are occupied, return any further fallen tiles to the lid of the game box to store them for now"
I think at 12 minute, James made an error . He took the black and start another line. You should complete already the last one where one black tile was already put before. Isn't it?
9:00 so I'm confused, why didn't you just take the single black tile and put it on your 5th row down next to the other black one, or even put it on the 3rd row? I'm confused as to what possessed you to take the snowflakes?
Watching other player's boards is part of the strategy of the game, not "rude" at all. just picking tiles and focusing on your own board is boring and requires almost no strategy. It's like playing Ticket To Ride and not watching what cards the other players are collecting and what routes they're building. Boring!
At 17:24, the woman calculates her scoring wrong - actually giving herself one point less than she should have. She should have gotten six points for that move, and only gave herself five points.
