  • In this video I'll say goodbye to my version of Azul since I found a cool replacement: Azul Mini, a nice travel version of the original that I like a lot.
    Description on BoardGameGeek: "In the game Azul, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins."

    Wow brilliant design. I’d rather have this than the big version. Great idea for future board game design

      Yes - finally a good travel version of a full size boardgame!

      @@SirThecos No. Perfect would be making your custom adjustment standard. One extra cloth (or at least non transparent) pouch to secure the smaller loose items within the travel bag, also serving the discard container function. You won't even need to refill one with the other: just swap bags.

      @@marcelrombouts8607 Yes, that would be even better - just like I added my own dice bag. Still, I think that this version shows how travel editions of games should be done, even if it can be improved even further.

      It might be a good idea to put a strip of sticky back velcro on either side of the button. I think that would secure the bag plenty well enough to be flipped upside down without worrying about something falling out.

    Manufacturer: please, a mini Azul Master Chocolatier! My only misgiving is that the central part of the factory holder looks a little small - maybe holds ten tiles?

    • @SirThecos

    I have Azul Stained Glass of Sintra and Azul Summer Pavillion so I was unsure if I wanted purchase the original Azul. Then, the mini Azul was released and meets my need especially since the cost is about half of the original Azul. The built in scoring mechanism is much better than the small cubes that scatter every where with original Azul, especially with 4 players. I agree that the bag needs to fully shut so the small tiles and factories do not fall out. I may need to add a zipper or velcro. Played it once a train with the lap trays. We did drop a few tiles when handling them because they are quite slippery. Other kind passengers helped us find the tiles. Since the cost is more affordable than original Azul, I bought a few extras for gifts. Enjoy mini Azul!

    • @SirThecos
      @SirThecos  Před rokem +1

      I agree that this makes a good gift since it's a really good game and the mini version is nearly perfect. Of course, the tiles don't have the same weight but they're good nonetheless. 😁

      Gameplay-wise they're the same. The original has nicer and larger tiles but I see no reason to own the original if you can have the mini, just because it's so well done.
