Nice play! The small tactic at the end of round 1 (ensuring you get a group of 3) is one of my favourite plays to make. I was ready to call the game after the end of round 1 as an easy win for you, but your opponent did make some nice moves to make it close.
It’s really enjoyable watching you play Azul! I don’t know why but I could watch you play the game for hours! I enjoy hearing your analysis of different moves. Keep up the great videos! 👍
Hi Alexey, Thank you for introducing Azul with this video, looking forward to watch next videos and play myself! I have no experience whatsoever, but may be you can answer a question: At 18:10 one possible move was to take 2 blue tiles to block the opponent from completing their column (14 points if I calculate correctly) instead of forcing extra 2 floor tiles. It looks like a superior move to me, but I might be missing something. Could you please share your thoughts on it?
You have the right idea. Even better take the black, he takes the black, then you take 3 blues. The black is worth 10 to him and 13 to us so he has to take it.
Thanks so much, Aleksejs, for bringing that content. It definitely helped me organize my thoughts around the strategy. Is there any high level play happening with more than just 2 players?
Im 'only' around 560 elo in Azul but this game honestly looked messy from both sides. Your opponent made the most easy mistakes with the worst strategy and still came kind of close.
Thanks for showing real gameplay. I find this method of demonstration the easiest to learn with.
I think "tiles" is correct according to the theme of the game. The term I have a problem with is "deck" instead of "bag". :p
I feel bad for 57goofy. He must have been annoyingly wondering why were taking so long to make your moves each play.😅

Great video, I would like to see more Azul videos
Great video, glad to see Azul getting the love it deserves!
Agreed. I hope he shows more Azule game playing like this one. Viewers really enjoy it.
Originally tiles are called "azulejos", which is the origin of the game's name :)
Amazing game!!! Its really entertaining to watch it, pls can you share the link of the website?

Its tiles. It says choose tiles right at the top. It's a tile factory and youre making a mosaic
hahaha you comment a game from a player not aware of this! Maybe you did it with me already ? :D
