At the turn of the 16th century, King Manuel I commissioned Portugal's greatest craftsmen to construct grandiose buildings. After completing the palaces of Evora and Sintra, the king sought to build a summer house to honour the most famous members of the royal family. This construction was intended for the most talented craftsmen - whose skills were equal to the splendour that the royal family deserved. Unfortunately, King Manuel I died before construction could begin. In Azul: Summer Pavilion, players return to Portugal to complete the task that never began. As a master craftsman, you must use the finest materials to create the summer pavilion while carefully avoiding wasting supplies. Only the best will rise to the challenge to honour the Portuguese royal family. Azul: Summer Pavilion lasts six rounds, and in each round players choose tiles and place them on their individual game boards to score points. Each of the six tile colours is wild during one of the rounds.

At the start of each round, draw tiles at random from the bag to fill each of the five, seven or nine factories with four tiles each. Draw tiles as necessary to fill the ten supply spaces on the central board. Players then take turns drawing tiles. You may choose to take all tiles of a non-wild colour from a factory and place them next to your board; if there are wild tiles on that factory, you must take one. Place all the remaining tiles in the centre of the table. You can also take all tiles of a non-wild colour from the centre of the game; you must also take a wild tile, if present.

Once all the tiles have been claimed, the players take turns placing the tiles on their individual trays. Each board represents seven stars which would be made up of six tiles; each space on a star indicates a number from 1 to 6, and six of the stars are for tiles of one colour while the seventh will be made up of one tile of each colour. To place a tile on the blue 5, for example, you must discard five blue or wild tiles next to your board (at least one blue is required), placing one blue tile in the blue 5 space and the rest in the discard tower. You score 1 point for this tile and 1 point for each tile of that star connected to the newly placed tile.

If you completely surround a pillar, statue or window on your board with tiles, you get an immediate bonus, by taking 1 to 3 tiles from the central reserve spaces and placing them next to your board. At the end of the round, you can carry over a maximum of four tiles to the next round; discard all others, losing 1 point for each. After six rounds, you receive a bonus for each of the seven stars that you have completely filled. In addition, you get a bonus for covering all seven spaces of value 1, 2, 3 or 4. You lose 1 point for each remaining unused tile, then the one with the most points wins.
