Asmodee Azul Duel Board Game - Competitive Head-to-Head Tile-Placement Strategy Game, Stunning Mosaic Art and Quick Gameplay for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2 Players, 30-45 Minute PlaytimeThe Forest Stewardship Council

The older I get, the harder it seems to be to get a group together to play games. Every once in a while when hanging out with family I can get something going, but more often than not my playing has been limited to monthly game nights with one particular friend. I have found Duel versions of classic tabletop games really do a fantastic job of retaining the feel of the original while streamlining the mechanics for just two players.Azul Duel is no exception. Though the original actually plays better with two players than most games, this version is truly designed around the direct competition and is actually quite a bit more complex. Building your placement grid as you go along is truly tricky, and there is a good balance to choosing between grabbing tokens, grabbing new placement tiles, or grabbing wildcard tiles (if available) that can be used later.Overall, I would say this is an excellent two player version, and I envision getting a lot of rounds out of it going forward.

My husband and I are thrilled with this version! Azul: Duel keeps the aesthetic and satisfying tactile feel of the original, but adds more interaction and excitement. The gameplay is fast-paced and tense, with constant competition for the right tiles — a direct but elegant duel.It’s perfect for two-player evenings: beautiful, smart, and full of new tactical choices each time. It’s definitely a keeper in our collection. But still, Queen’s Garden remains our favorite.

I love the original Azul, but playing with only 2, this makes it even better.

Todo bien

Nothing beats the original Azul, but this is a fun head to head version when you want something different.

Great game!

If you’re looking for a two-player game and you are used to interpreting complicated instructions that keep building upon earlier instructions, then this game is a great choice. I would not recommend it for use with 8-10 year olds just due to the complicated strategy and structure of turns. I prefer it to standard Azul, but definitely like Azul Summer Pavilion more. The game components are wonderful (as with all Azul games), but I wish the player boards were more than thin cardboard that you have to bend to make them lie flat on a table. The hardest part of the game to master is the direction/rotation of the domes to pick for placement on your player board. There are many ways to score points and even with poor dome placement, you can achieve a respectable score.
