Compound Fun Games | Tsuro the Game of the Path |Board Game | Ages 8+ | 2-8 Players | 15-20 Minute Playing Time

This is the second time that I’ve bought this game.My first copy was recently damaged by a spilled drink and the board had warped.You can learn it in under a minute and it takes around 15-20 to play, depending on the number and decisiveness of players. I can guarantee you won’t stop at one game. Its deceptive simplicity hides a multitude of permutations, meaning no two games are the same.There is an element of luck, but I don’t feel it impacts the game negatively. A skilled player will usually be able to optimise their hand and, if they don’t, the game is short enough that it won’t feel too punishing to lose.The components are solid and the art is attractive, evoking an East Asian theme akin to the classic game Go.It’s a bit more expensive than I remember, but it’s still good value for money. Your collection would be all the better for including this.

I saw a play through of this on YouTube and thought it looked good, so bought it then and there.Got the chance to play it just now, two of us, and LOVED it. You don't think it's going to be that tricky until you suddenly realise ''Oh heck, I'm going to go off the board in the few tiles''My daughter and I had great fun playing it. I can't wait to play it with a couple more people too.Definitely worth buying

The game is beautifully decorated and easy to learn. The markings on the set of tiles laid in turn by players, indicate the path a player must follow. There is a certain level of strategy to the game but also an element of luck - good or bad.I had imagined that the tiles would have been scored to create a more distinctive path but the path is only printed. This doesn't effect the play at all.Overall it's a good family game which can be played in a few minutes.

Got this for a bit of family fun and it fits the bill perfectly. My 7 and 11 year old both love it and are always up for a game.

The less people that play, the longer the game - but it's still quite quick to play. It takes four people about 20-30 mins to play. Rules are easy to follow and younger ones should be able to play without difficulty. The board, cards & pieces are nicely made and good quality.

The first thing you notice with Tsuro is that it has lovely artwork. It's designed to feel like an ancient game, even though it's a modern concept (as far as I know).The gameplay can look a little complex at first, but is actually very simple. Each player has a stone which will follow a path through the board. On each turn, you put down a tile which extends your own path, and may (at some stage) affect other player's paths. The objective is to stay on the board as long as possible. If your path leads you off the board, or you crash into another player, you are out of the game.I've found that there isn't very much scope for strategy in Tsuro. However, it can engage your spatial awareness and your forward planning. In order to play well, you have to be aware of what tiles you have (or are likely to have in the future), and how safe it is to go a certain direction on the board. This depends not only on your own path, but on the paths of other players who could suddenly end up right beside you, making things much harder! Chance plays a big role too though.The game scales quite well, and is very playable with just 2 people. Increasing the number of players increases the challenge, as you have less margin for error, and more paths to keep track of. I've yet to try it with a full complement of 8 players, but look forward to trying that sometime.

In Tsuro, players take turns to place a tile (from their hand of 3) onto the board to make their piece (and maybe others) move along a path (line). If a player's piece is forced to follow a line that goes off the edge of the board, they are out! Last player standing wins.Further details of gameplay and rules can easily be found online.This game is the simplest I own- that is it's main strength. Even non-gamers (people who think that Monopoly is as good as it gets) will get this, and very young kids. It only takes 15 minutes to play. It is also very flexible, in that it plays from 2 to 8 players! These points together make it a perfect filler or warm-up game.The components are nice and chunky. The theme is barely there but that doesn't detract from the game it just provides nice background colours.The only reason I only give this 4 stars is because of it's simplicity; I wouldn't give Snap or Rock-Paper-Scissors 5 stars for the same reason. There's nothing wrong with Tsuro, you will enjoy it and maybe play it 2 or 3 times in a row because it's so quick and fun, but then you will move on to something else.Note: check some of the online resources to understand the Dragon tile (used when the drawn pile runs out) as the rule book included doesn't explain it very clearly, but it really is still simple.

This game is a sheer delight to own and play! Both me and my partner fell in love with this the first time we opened the box! It comes BEAUTIFULLY packaged and presented with luscious artwork, and ALL components are of the VERY highest quality! To top all this, it's probably one of the most GORGEOUS, relaxing and addictive games you will ever play! No two games are the same!We played this game several times in succession, and we didn't really want to put it away then, (could quite easily have played it all night...) but we've got SO many games to get through and play having started games playing again after some considerable time, and having a collection that spans almost 700...!Each player takes a token (beautiful playing pieces to handle!) and places it to the edge of the board on the beginning of any pathway. In succession, players `play' tiles to the board which can send their pieces off in various directions - leading who know where... They then move their piece to the end of that particular tile. This continues until either no tiles are left, or a player forces another player off the board. Such a simple concept, but beautifully implemented!We could not find fault with this game. First we did think it a bit pricey - but just wait until you see it!Simply GORGEOUS!!
