Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra is a standalone game in the Azul series by Michael Kiesling. Instead of ceramic tiles, players select translucent glass panes to complete the ornate windows of the Palace of Sintra — all while carefully avoiding waste that costs precious points.

The game features double-sided player boards and window pane panels, providing near-infinite variability across plays. Unique components include translucent window pane pieces and a tower to hold discarded glass panes. New art and mechanics distinguish it clearly from the original Azul while retaining the signature drafting elegance.

Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra is a great next step for fans of the original Azul, and an excellent standalone choice for players who enjoy abstract strategy with beautiful components.
