I played Azul. I've owned it for a few years, but never felt like trying it out. It was great fun, both with 3 players and 2 players! I'm not usually into euro- or abstract games, but Azul is easy enough that it's basically like scrabble. You rarely see a new mechanic that's both this simple and well executed; I can see this becoming a staple in my collection. I guess that's why it's top ranked.
