Thank you for the succinct tutorial. I watched the video a few times before playing with others who have been playing this game for a while. I had to keep correcting them about the rules of play I learned from the video! We actually had to restart the game. In the end, everyone was happy because it was a better gaming experience. Scoring was super tight with four players. Of course the teacher won😊
Excellent and easy to understand explanation of gameplay. TY! Watching many videos on Azul games and this one seems to be most liked along with original. Played original twice when first out and ok but want to try again. Haven,t played this one yet. Want to get one of them.
Is it possible DURING THE SAME TURN placing tiles from the same color pile more than once ? For example if you have accumulated 5 red tiles that turn, using 3 of them to fill the number 3 spot and the remaining 2 to fill the number 2 spot.... It is not specified in the rule book.
Great question, No, you may only place one tile per turn when placing tiles, this affects the surrounding of the symbols that let you take tiles from the center board, so only one tile per turn
@@GameandParty thanks for the answer. So if I understand well, in a 2 player game We draft all the tiles from the middle and put them aside next to the board, then we start placing them , I place one (red for example), then my opponent place one, then it comes back to me and i placed another one, this is considered a different turn, the tile can still be red (in a different spot, of course), and so on till We exhaust the tiles, Is this correct ?
So please clarify...let’s say I collect 8 red tiles in a round. On my first turn, in that round, I can place 4 on the four spot and keep the remaining four, then on my next turn, I can play three on the three spot, and on my next turn, I can play one on my one spot? We have been playing, a more challenging way in that you can only play on the spot that maximizes your number of tiles...so picking 8 would mean you could play on the six, but you’d lose two points for the two extra. So you don’t take more tiles than you need in a round. So if you pick up four tiles, you play on the four spot, and then only if you picked up extras from surrounding a statue say, could you pick up two more and play them on the same colored circle on the same turn. It makes the selection process more selective and the order of achieving the extra tiles more strategic since you’d need to play this four first in order to get another two to place on the two spot. I don’t know how we got to this method, but now I’m seeing maybe it’s wrong but it sure makes the game way more challenging.
Yes, that does seem a lot more challenging, but you can cover the number you choose, typically you want to cover a number next to an already covered number to get the bonus for touching tiles.
So you said for any tiles that you don’t use after you put your 4 storage tiles down you subtract a point. Do you also subtract points for all of the unused tiles that you had to discard to make up the tile count for placing a given tile on a star? For example if you were going to place a tile on the number six space you have to discard five tiles. Do you also subtract five points for those five tiles?
@@GameandParty Ended up getting a copy. Now I just have to get it to the table haha. Gotta say, these are possibly the least delicious looking pieces of all three games 😂
I think I understand the concept of “paying” to lay tiles but, does the number on the tile represent the amount of tiles needed IN that same color or just in general? And also, do I discard any 5 tiles for placing on tile 6 or only tiles of that same color? I’m still shaky on exactly when to discard the tiles too.
After finishing the video I think I understand that in order to place a red tile on space 6 I would need at least 6 red tiles and the remaining 5 red tiles would be discarded into the tower?
yes, that is correct, you would have to take from the center getting the first player tile and a set of colored tiles, but this usually does not happen because grabbing a large set of tiles from the middle becomes tempting earlier
I assume you cant steal wild tiles on that wild color turn. I explain myself, if green is wild color you cant just go for greens on that turn. They are only used as wild when picking up other colors... right?
Hi...for Azul Summer Pavilion...when scoring for having all the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc does that count the multi-star in the middle as well or just the colored stars? In other words, do you have all the 1's for all 6 colors or all 6 colors plus the multi-star in the middle?
Can wilds be used in the center to fill in? Like for instance the purples are what you have and you wanna use those to fill in for blue, can you do that? Or better yet, have the two same colors in the center, one is just being a stand in for another...
Thanks for the clarification, yes they are filled after your turn, and you can only place one tile per turn on your player board, so you can only take 1, 2 or 3 tiles from the bonus board once
@@GameandParty Yep. I just didn't want people to get the impressions that if they are taking two or three, they can take one, replenish it and hope for something they really want. They have to take all their tiles before refreshing.
@@GameandParty to reply to this question. Let's say all opponents are done and have passed, but you have several tiles left, you place a tile and you get a placement bonus and take one from the scoring board. That is your turn, so would you refill prior to your next turn? This came up in one of my games, I'm assuming yes because you would refill after your first turn is complete.
Nice summary. First time playing the game. Our family take is great game very poor quality pieces and boards. Not big enough and the 80 thing is silly.

Most clear, concise explanation of how to play the game I found. Great job! 👍🏼

I watch a lot of these vids to learn games and you are by far the best. As noted below, clear, concise and not too fast! TY!
Thank you so much! We watched several tutorials and we were still lost!! Plus, you speak our language, LOL! 😂❤
Well done Mike. The whole family just watched your video and can't wait to have our first game. Thanks heaps!!!!
We found a good deal on line and just ordered Summer Pavilion, this was a great video to watch and be ready to play. Thanks!
Nice, quick rules overview. Thanks!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Needed a little clarification on a few points and this was great! Thank you!!
Incredibly useful and well explained! Thanks bud!
Great teach. Easy to follow. Thanks!
Informative and concise thank you!
Clear explanation. Thanks a lot!

No, do not subtract for those tiles spent, only ones left over at the end of the round
Interesting. I'll have to try this one out. Seems more confusing and complex than the prior games in this line
Yes, this one is more complex than the first one for sure, but more forgiving than the second one
@@GameandParty Ended up getting a copy. Now I just have to get it to the table haha. Gotta say, these are possibly the least delicious looking pieces of all three games 😂
1:05, you have 5 tiles on a platform
Nice catch, yep, should just be 4 there

@@hickszn That is correct
Question: if by the end of the round, no one has picked from the middle (1st player tile is not taken), is the next player forced to take it?
yes, that is correct, you would have to take from the center getting the first player tile and a set of colored tiles, but this usually does not happen because grabbing a large set of tiles from the middle becomes tempting earlier
I assume you cant steal wild tiles on that wild color turn. I explain myself, if green is wild color you cant just go for greens on that turn. They are only used as wild when picking up other colors... right?
You may pick up wild tiles but only one at a time
Great video, thank you

You need to have the ones in the multi star in the middle also
@@GameandParty THANK YOU!
Why do some of the factory disks have 5 tiles and some have 4?
All of the discs should only have 4 tiles, the extra was a mistake
Can wilds be used in the center to fill in? Like for instance the purples are what you have and you wanna use those to fill in for blue, can you do that? Or better yet, have the two same colors in the center, one is just being a stand in for another...
If everyone else has passed and are out for the round, can you keep on placing tiles if you are able to?
Yes
Nice Job
Thank you
thanks bro
30k views impressive
You note that any bonus tiles are immediately refilled. This is incorrect, they are refilled before the next players turn.
Thanks for the clarification, yes they are filled after your turn, and you can only place one tile per turn on your player board, so you can only take 1, 2 or 3 tiles from the bonus board once

Seems ok but I think I prefer the original. Great video though 😀
Could you explain the rules super in depth and easy for an idiot such as myself to understand?
Nice summary. First time playing the game. Our family take is great game very poor quality pieces and boards. Not big enough and the 80 thing is silly.
You should've used a second person and gone into a little more detail
