About Plan B Games

Plan B Games is a board game publisher based in Rigaud, founded in 2016 by Sophie Gravel. It is known around the world for Azul, a tile-laying game in which players draft colourful tiles to decorate a palace wall.

Azul is easy to learn, quick to play and pretty on the table, which makes it a nice pick for families, couples and game nights with friends who are new to modern board games. It is a thoughtful gift for the holidays or a long winter weekend at the cottage. It also shows that a worldwide hit can come from a small town in Quebec.
