Don’t ya just love Deborah?? She’s always so happy. She makes it fun to watch.
Interesting playthrough; I've been wondering about these newer Azul options. Looks much more complicated, but lots of fun!
if i understand the rules correctly i think the easy way to teach this is to define a "set" as all of one color with different symbols, or all of one symbol with different colors, then say you may take a set, or use a set to place. when you place the number of tiles in the set must equal the value of the tile you want to place.

watched the video and played today love tis game
Because I need to keep track of four rounds stacks I used part of the material left over from punching out pieces and marked them 1-4 - need order in my life lol and to show players each round - also sent e-mail to plan b about an expansion if they can add a new score board and two different colors like light pink and red to replace the light green and light purple - It was annoyingly difficult with the two greens and two purples. Said I would buy it if they made it . Good game. Love watching Game Night - Thanks for explaining and playing out the game. Greatly appreciate it. Need more color to make a pretty garden or Midnight garden lol

Okay, so I'm not the only one bothered by color. I was baffled by light green dark green, light purple dark purple. Why not the color options of summer pavilion? Orange, pink, grey, just anything but 2 tones of a color.
This game is definitely thinky but looks fun. Thanks for showing it off. It is very beautiful like other Azul games.
Just recently bought this because my more hardcore gamer friends want something more complicated than the original Azul, but the rules teach during this video was tough to follow. Bring in Dave!

skipped how to play and understood the game from the game play. Its really unnecessary to add commends about the rules or the game it self when you explain the rules, specially if 2 people interrupting each other.
did any of you notice that Nikki and Deborah change point marker after the second round.
A very long video with Deborah in it, sounds like a great GameNight video 😁❤️

Right?!?
Very complicated scoring and playing right this game, but now i understand more. Video is long, but helpfull. So thank you.
Blissfully unaware that the borders on the player boards are supposed to match the player score markers
Thisis my favorite Azul 😊👍🏻 the first one is so easy, and this one brings up the next level of complexity 👍🏻😎
This game is so confusing! Everything about requires a lot of close attention: the color/pattern matching for tile drafting & placement as well as remembering the joker tiles and the scoring too. Was great to watch you all play to help me learn it.
Interesting mechanics
At 56:24, was that a legal move? The dark purple tree and the light purple flower conflict right?
Great Teach Niki P. I always enjoy Game Night with all of you. This game is a thinker. I look forward to getting my grey matter energized on this one!

Poor Nikki struggled with her teach. Lincoln was often clarifying for her. She was often vague, and getting ahead of herself. I learned more from Lincoln than I got from Nikki.
When the bonus points are calculated at the end of the game. Do the 6 bricks have to be different colors or different shapes, or can the group have the same colors and the same patterns? Can the 6 bricks of the second group also be connected to another group of 6 bricks? In my opinion, at most, the board could theoretically have 13 pieces in 6 groups, in which case 13 x 6 = 78 points.
So they made an inverted quirkle!
Hmmmm I’m not sure on this one, I have the first one and summer pavilion but not sure on this. Summer pavilion is fantastic very addictive.
45:25 was it correct to take twice the same dark purple set of 6 "bells" ?

I believe, at 57:40 , you can not put that yellow tree there. It conflicts with the dark green butterflies to the top left and the dark purple flower to the right of it. You can only put the same color or the same symbol next to each other. So in my opinion you are blocked there, which I saw happening already a while ago when you placed those garden extensions with the tiles facing inwards. Correct me if I'm wrong please, anyone?

@@henripoincare6378Thanks for your reply. Indeed, the tree is next to another yellow tile. But the yellow tree is also adjacent to a dark green butterflies tile, which is illegal, is it not?

It’s interesting that the complexity has gone up with each of the Azuls. This feels more like a Feld - I think Sintra is my sweet spot (though probably the ugliest of the 4). Thanks for the video :)

Sintra is great. It plays super fast. Summer pavilion is good but it’s a tough learn and comes with a lot of AP
Dayum. I've always had envy how beautiful and talented Deborah is ❤ Now I envy her that Descent into Avernus shirt as well 🥲
Thanks for the play through. I think this one is leaving my list; I don't want to try and teach all those rules. Summer Pavilion is my go-to.

I think this is the azul im most worried to even try out. It seems so difficult to just see what is “okay” to do. Nice stuff otherwise as always.

I think it was just explained badly. While I don't think it is overly complicated in terms of all board games, I do think this takes away the simplicity, that the original Azul has. Not a buy for me.
I read comments about the visibility of the patterns on the yellow tiles. Is that an issue IRL as well, not just on video?

I feel the yellow with white printing is a bad combination. Maybe if the printing was black it would have helped. We discuss the colors at the end of the video and wonder at the color choices for this game. Thanks for the note and for watching-Lincoln

@@boardgamegeek I actually picked up the game yesterday and after two plays, I don't think there are any visibility issues if the game is there on the table in front of you.
At 1:25:32, could Deborah instead have taken the garden extension with the dark green flower and in the next turn played it, paying with the dark green tree extension, the dark green six bell and the joker, and that way gotten rid of six minus points? I think the joker's are a bit too bland in colour, at least on video. Love your stuff!

I'll have to retry , but it didn't seem to fit the other way round. The hole in the scoring board and the rotary wheel are different sizes, and so are the sizes of both of the pins.
I’m so confused as to how to spend chips to earn a placement. I watched the whole tutorial twice and don’t get it. Lol. I love the original azul. This looks great. As long as I can learn it! Anyone help?

This is from the Queen Garden rulebook - Paying a cost: Each pattern appearing on tiles or garden expansions has its own placement cost displayed on the top of your garden board. Pay the cost by discarding that number of tiles and/or garden expansions from your storage including the selected tile or garden expansion that you want to place. Pay the cost according to one of the following options: • all discarded hexagons must show the same pattern but be of different colors, OR • all discarded hexagons must be of the same color but showing different patterns. Place the discarded tiles into the tower. Return the discarded garden expansions face down at the bottom of the supply stack. Hope this helps - Have a blast with a great game :)
When everyone makes the same mistake (including teacher) - it's a house rule?........

This is much more complicated than the other Azuls. Also, Nikki and Deborah are not using the scoring markers that match their boards.
20 minutes to explain an Azul game? That seems like a hard spike from Summer Pavillion.
Poor Nikki struggled with her teach. Lincoln was often clarifying for her. And Deborah had to ask clarification questions. Nikki seemed so nervous... She was often vague, and getting ahead of herself. I learned more from Lincoln than I got from Nikki.
What can I say..? The video was excellent as always, but the game, not so much. I think it's a classic example of the old saying, "You can get too much of a good thing". I love Azul, but this version adds too much, sacrificing the elegant simplicity I like so much in the original, with a load of complications that only detracts from the game. Definitely not one I'll be adding to my list.
10 minutes and still explaining the rules...
Yeah not sure this is a good addition to the Azul series. Rules weren't clear, scoring wasn't super clear, gameplay wasn't exciting.
