Absolutely love this series, thanks for the videos. I'm not a particularly experienced Azul player but it's fascinating to hear an analysis of all the strategy.

Minor suggestion after watching the last video: you might want to improve your txt file for tile tracking by using a simple google spreadsheet? You could implement a checksum column. That would also fix the column alignment when tiles go into single digit counts

Lol that is a great idea

What fascinates me about Arena Azul, at least at lower ELO, is how many people blitz out all their moves without a second's thought. I see it in your games and I see it in my own. I can sense the impatience radiating from them when I spend 30 seconds on a move.

Imagine playing a chess game with an hour on your clock, you make all your moves instantly, and you get wiped out in 25 moves with 55 minutes remaining. Same thing.

Yeah, some people just have the itch to play fast for some reason. It happens to me too if I'm tilted when I'm playing

In other news, I just recorded the first Game Review episode. A break from the Beginner to Master series. Let me know what you think!
