    Expectation: a video about the strategy in Azul
    Reality: a strange advert for candy

    "Azul is not candy."
    Cue Azul Chocolatier beckoning invitingly.

      That is why Azul is prohibited for 8 or below 😅 If you do so, you will find your cue getting lesser and lesser ......

    1. "Not that I know from personal experience." - This too shall pass.

    GenCon booth protocol 384.a:
    - Keep your booth candy in bowls that can easily be stashed away.
    - If you see Paula coming, immediately, I repeat, immediately hide any and all candy.

    That last line was exactly what I thought, just by watching! Please don't do that to yourself again, we need you in top shape! Funny as usual, looking forward to the next one!

    @DaFees Год назад

    Great video as always, Paula. Loved all the candy eating but also loved the strategy tips. Great to know that you just reaffirmed most of what I already knew! :)
    That said the real tip in this video is if I (or anyone) want(s) your attention at a convention I (they) just need to bring/offer candy. :D

      here's a shameful secret about me: I don't like the pink ones

    • @JonTripp115

      The best thing about liking the yellow Starburst is that you get everyone else's yellow Starburst.

  • @jonathanbosma9932
    @jonathanbosma9932 2 месяца назад

    You cant really say 'go for 2 colomns which is 14 points and not for 1 colour which is 10 points. There is a total of 20 of each colour every 5 rounds, so if you take 15 there is only 5 left for your opponent, most likely even less since, there has been thrown some on the floor tile. Giving your opponent such a small amount of a colour is also worth a lot of points indirectly. Also, focussing on 2 coloms means your NOT focussing on getting your 1-2-3 row filled with decent/good adjacency, which in the end adds up way more than maybe 7 points for a second line.
    800 ELO on bga btw.

    • @PaulaDeming
      @PaulaDeming  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for the thoughts - that's an impressive ELO for sure. What seems important to me is to know all these different approaches so that we can change our tactics based on what tiles are coming out and what our opponents are doing. I'll definitely keep all your tips in mind in my next play

    It's probably just me, but I really would have appreciated an extended full cycle of chewing and swallowing for each piece of candy you ate to reward yourself. That first one had me dying!

  • @savasyn

    Good tip on the columns. The diagonals are SO tempting, but really suck for adjacency.

    Tip #6: have a designated Heimlich Manoeuvre Buddy nearby before filming a video like this...! 🚑

  • @bennemann
    @bennemann Год назад +10

    Thanks for the useful tips. Constructive feedback: the video could have gone without the overacted, overdone, questionable sweets-based attempt at humor. I almost dropped the video before the 2 min mark because of it. I'm glad I didn't because the tips really are great, but it was a close shave.

      Wouldn’t have been nearly as entertaining.

    • @TheBoredNerd
      @TheBoredNerd 9 месяцев назад +4

      Agreed, it's a bit much. And by a bit much, I mean really quite a bit. One of those little jokes would be more than enough, but I felt like a young child that's trying to be entertained by an over-enthusiastic substitute teacher. It comes off almost demeaning lol. The real target audience of this would be too young to play the game for fear of choking hazards
