We have many modern board games, and until recently Wingspan has been my favourite - but Azul: Queen's Garden has now stolen the top spot.
Pros:
- Hexagons! Hexagons are the bestagons.
- There is so much potential for strategy - collect colours, collect patterns, try for multiple groups of three, collect pavillions early in the game, try to block your opponent from getting the pieces they need, concentrate on getting high value pieces which don't count until the final round... we've played it many times already and there are still a lot of strategies that I haven't tried.
- It is so pretty and the tiles themselves are great quality, as are the well detailed 'joker' pieces.
- It wasn't too difficult to learn. As with most modern games, it took a while but one trial game was enough to get all of the rules into our heads.
- Great replayability.
- Setup and pack away is fairly fast.
Cons:
- The player mats, scoring chart and discard tower are a little flimsy, I'm not sure how long they will last. We take good care of our games, but I imagine these mats are going to get a little damaged over time.
- It's difficult to fit properly into the box once the spinner is assembled. It could be take apart each time, but I'm concerned that might damage it.
- The white pictures are a little hard to see on the yellow tiles.
- The light and dark purple are sometimes easy to confuse on the printed pieces (not on the tiles themselves, they're very distinct).
The negatives are not enough to stop me from giving it five stars. A superb game.
