Azul: Glazed Pavilion adds two newly designed player boards with matching scoring boards, adding more puzzles and more stained-glass trickery. Along with the addition of the two new boards, there is a set of four new overlays to ensure that your tiles do not do a runner, and that they are firmly kept in place.

For those who have not played Azul: Summer Pavilion before, players take on the role of a master artisan and muster the materials to create a mystifying summer pavilion in the streets of Portugal. However, this isn't as easy as making up a pretty picture. Players must draft tiles, creating and competing to create their own masterpieces without wasting any resources. All whilst adhering to a strict scoring strategy of points.

If you are a fan of Azul: Summer Pavilion and are looking for some fresh content, the game retails roughly between £10-£15 depending on where you are shopping online, and can make a fantastic addition and expansion on an already beloved game.
