I just played Azul for the first time and I really like it. The rules are straightforward and it’s quick to setup and pack up. It reminds me a lot of Sagrada.

I think it’s much better at 2 players: with more players it gets harder to plan ahead and it usually does not pay off to block other players from getting specific tiles (if you get fewer points to make another player loose even more points, the other player(s) will profit the most). Two player Azul can get really cutthroat!
Two players is savage and me and my partner play it a lot and the joy of ruining your opponent’s plans is great. But at 3 or 4 it becomes more about sniping opportunities and agreed it becomes less strategic but it is fun.
