Azul does...

Post by Injured Pigeon »

Over on the Azul discord channel we have been discussing introducing our fellow Azul players to some other games we think they'll enjoy. To this ends we are putting together a series of events called "Azul does..."

"Azul does..." runs semi-regular tournaments that aims to introduce Azul fans to some new, light weight games, that are easy to learn, fast to play and that we hope they'll enjoy and won't keep them distracted from Azul for too long. Whilst doing so, we also hope to grow interest in these games by leveraging the large Azul community to broaden the player base of the chosen game and provide fresh new challenges for current fans of that game.

Each tournament will begin with nominations for the game to play (games must be short and easy to learn), players can state why they're nominating the game. After 4 days, there will be a vote and after the vote completes a KO tournament will be set up a week later.

If you'd like to take part please join us in this BGA group: https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=18157000

The first "Azul does..." tournament has been selected as Patchwork: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=patchwork

Nominated by brh2113 and voted by Azul discord community.

"this is a game that shares a lot with Azul. It's a 2p game where you're taking turns going back and forth drafting tiles, trying to binpack them onto a quilt. The game has zero luck after the opening draw, similar to Azul within a round, and has a lot of calculating out lines of "I draft X, then you draft Y and Z, then I get A, is that sequence favourable to me?", so it may be of interest to this community."


A tournament will be set up to start in approximately a week's time to allow everyone the chance to learn how to play, and possibly reach an 100 ELO. However, if you don't quite make it to 100, don't worry, let me know you're interested in joining and you can be invited.

Have fun!
