What this is
Artfully embellish the walls of their palace by drafting the most beautiful tiles. Players take turns selecting colored azulejo tiles from shared factory displays and placing them onto personal mosaic boards to score points. The game rewards careful planning and features a satisfying tension between collecting the tiles they need and denying opponents the ones they want.
