The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and with a playtime of 30 to 45 minutes, you can quickly get immersed in the world of Azul Duel. Designed by Michael Kiesling and published in 2025, this game retains the elegance of the original Azul while introducing a new tactical dimension that adds depth to the gameplay.

As an abstract strategy and puzzle game, Azul Duel challenges you to think critically and make tactical decisions to outmaneuver your opponent.
