Azul: Queen's Garden

Azul: Queen's Garden is vastly different than the other 3 games: Azul, Stained Glass, and Summer Pavilion. The drawing mechanism which stayed the same across the first 3 games has had some tweaks, where you only start with 4 tiles drawn, and you draw more as the round progresses. There are a max of 4 rounds, and each round you alternate turns between you and your competitors. On a turn you can either pick up Piece(s), or place Piece(s), and you can end your participation in a round at any time by passing. The first person to pass gets the -1 marker, and goes first in Round 2. I may have the new tinted glasses on but I think this version of Azul is superior to the other 3 Azul's. I've played about 10 games since I've bought it to the point in time of posting this review, and Azul: Queen's Garden is going to remain in our board game rotation for games night for quite some time.
