Tsuro Clp020

This is a glorious looking game. Everything screams quality - from the sturdiness of the box to the slip of velum over the board when you first open it, to the lovely game pieces and delightful artwork. This is one of those games that is simple to pick up (my 6 year old and his friend got this within about 3 minutes) and playable by all ages from 5 up. Younger players can place tiles and rely on luck, older ones might start to think ahead a bit with their tiles and try to position themselves more strategically. Either way luck plays a part and I'm not guaranteed to beat my son even if I try hard to do so - in fact we're probably tied for wins to date! Quick to play so youngsters won't be bored, also a nice game for family gatherings or mixed groups. We love this game for its simplicity and its beauty. Buy it.

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!!

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.

Tsuro is an abstract tile laying game, basically you lay a tile and you follow the pathway hoping you won't fall off the edge of the board or hit another player. You do this till you are out or run out of tiles. It's simple to play for sure but is deceptively tactical too. The pacing of the game is fast no game should last long, perhaps 30 minutes at most for maximum player count. I can see it scaling well with player counts, there shouldn't be a lot of down time between turns. The more players involved makes the tension rises faster because in the later stages, players will start dropping out quickly, as there's less room to maneuver and the end will leave you wanting to play again, at least it did for me. A visually beautiful game with high quality components, should give you a couple of games per session if part of your games night.

Ages 6 up are enjoying this game. The aim of the game is to place tiles on the board to move your piece and to stay on the board the longest. As we play this more and more the kids are improving their strategy greatly and we can get down to only a few tiles left before someone is eliminated which of course is very exciting and dramatic when it lasts that long. The game itself is well made, tiles are thick cardboard which will last, counters are plastic, would be nice if they were improved a little but it doesn’t take away from the game which has a nicely designed board. Play time is short enough for those with little attention span 10 mins or so. We played with three people so far although there are 8 markers in the game. Nicely presented game for all ages really. The kids get a kick out of eliminating others. Highly recommend it.

Es un juego muy zen, se pone interesante cuando se llena de losetas, desafortunadamente se puede perder mucho antes. Lo único negativo en la entrega es que en el momento en que lo compré me llegó un mensaje que decía que no estaba disponible por el momento. Eso no me gustó. simplemente no debería de haber aparecido con precio. Después de eso no lo cancelé y esperé pacientemente durante mucho tiempo. Aclaro que sí me llegaron avisos de Amazon de que el vendedor anunciaba que todavía no lo tenía.

The game box, presentation upon opening, directions, cards etc are beautiful! The game is fun, quick and easy to get started but there is depth to the game. We are new to it, but can see there is strategy to develop with experience. Lots of fun. Can quickly take a turn that changes everything, to where the person trailing can become the winner. So that's exciting, too. lol.

Great family game, always enjoy playing it, but needs dragons figurines to make it more interesting

Tolles Spiel gibt es nichts dran auszusetzen. Einzig die Spielfeldmarkierungen am Spielplan sind SEHR schwach aufgedruckt. Dies kann aber mit einem Lineal und einem Filzstift schnell behoben werden.

Easily one of the best games I've ever discovered and I own A LOT of games. It's simple, 2-8 players, and so far the kids age 6 on up have grasped the concept and are good competition. It's playable in 5-15 minutes, but one game is never enough. The quality is great, and the artwork is simple, yet beautiful.
