Azul Kids

Azul turned tile drafting into a design award winning hit, and Azul Kids brings that same tactile pleasure to players as young as five. Choose a mosaic design like a butterfly, parrot, or flower, then grab handfuls of colored tiles from the shared bowls to fill it in before anyone else finishes theirs.

Each of the six double sided boards holds two skill levels built right in. Apprentice mode keeps things forgiving: take a color, pass along whatever you don't need, no penalties for reaching into the shared pile. Master mode divides the same board into smaller sections, adding the kind of planning ahead that turns a five year old's game into something a seven year old still wants to win.

• 2 to 4 players, ages 5 and up
• About 20 minutes per game
• 120 mosaic pieces, 6 double sided boards, a cloth draw bag, a central supply hub, and a rulebook
• Two built-in difficulty levels (Apprentice and Master) grow with the player
