Azul: Duel [Board Game]

Step into the majestic world of Azul Duel, a captivating two-player strategy game from Next Move Games that reimagines the tile-laying artistry of the award-winning Azul. Designed by Michael Kiesling, this competitive showdown invites you to decorate the stunning ceilings of the Palace of Sintra, where every move pits light against shadow and strategy against cunning.  

In Azul Duel, you and your opponent compete to craft breathtaking patterns using vibrant acrylic tiles and circular dome plates. Will your designs dazzle under the daylight or shimmer in the glow of night? Carefully draft tiles from the day factories or the moonlit night pool, then stack them tactically to outmaneuver your rival. Place dome plates on your personal board to complete intricate ceiling designs, scoring points for clever placement and fulfilling hidden objectives. But beware—every tile you claim shapes the opportunities you leave behind, making each decision a delicate balance of risk and reward.  

Retaining the elegance and purity of the original Azul, Azul Duel introduces a fresh tactical layer with customizable player boards and dynamic tile-stacking mechanics. Packed with high-quality components—including 75 colorful acrylic tiles, 20 bonus chips, and a sleek discard tower—this game offers endless replayability in a compact, beautifully designed package. Perfect for ages 10 and up, a match unfolds in 30-45 minutes, delivering a tense, interactive duel that’s as visually striking as it is strategically deep.
