Thrilling Azul
Thrilling Azul opens like a classic Co-op game, then quickly reveals Campaign layers that reward long-form table memory. Its Co-op framework encourages risky pivots, especially once table politics reshape priorities. Round structure forces meaningful tradeoffs between tempo and efficiency; over 3 chapters, even small resource leaks become strategic liabilities. Negotiation matters more than it first appears; temporary coalitions routinely form, fracture, and reform inside a single chapter. If your group values depth with momentum, this one delivers a rare mix of sharp tactical play and evolving campaign texture.
