Complete a royal project that history left unfinished in Azul Summer Pavilion. King Manuel I intended to honour the Portuguese royal family with a magnificent pavilion, but construction never began before his death. Players return as master artisans, gathering colourful materials and arranging them across seven star shaped sections of a personal design.
Each of the six rounds begins with tile drafting from shared Factory Displays and the central area. One colour becomes wild during each round, changing the value of the available supply and encouraging players to plan around a rotating advantage. Placing a tile requires spending a matching set, while connected placements score together and completed arrangements earn further rewards.
Surrounding pillars, statues and windows grants bonus tiles from the central supply, creating opportunities to extend a productive turn. Only four unused tiles can be carried into the next round, so overcollecting creates penalties. Final scoring rewards completed stars and covered number sets, balancing immediate connections against long term pavilion planning.
