Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra

It's ok but I suggest original Azul or Summer Pavilion instead.

It’s sad and inevitable at the same time that this game has to be compared to its predecessor, since it is a really good game on its own. Compared to Azul the choices are more interesting but the scoring feels more “made up” so to speak. Therefor it also feels less cut throat than Azul and loses the charm of the feeling of wanting to do much more than what is possible. Nevertheless its fun, soothing and satisfying to play this game.

This version is over complicated in my opinion and is so little like the original that I'm not sure what even makes it "Azul" aside from theming. This is especially clear when you play Summer Pavillion which is far superior to this game and is so because of the fact that they actually used the original rule set from Azul to create a new and interesting game. This is definitely my least favorite Azul.
