I'm always looking for good games that can accommodate a wide variation in number of players. Even those that do often play best with a specific number, so the list of games that play well with large or small group is very short.
Tsuro distinguishes itself from this already exclusive list by being incredibly easy to introduce to new players, playing in less than a half hour and being great for younger players as well.
Gameplay is straightforward: each turn you play a tile from your hand in front of your pawn. Each tile has four paths, each one connecting two of the eight marks on the sides of the tiles. You then move your pawn along the path it is on. The strategy comes from the fact that if your tile creates paths for any of the other player's pieces they also move. The goal is to stay on the board, while trying to force your opponents off it.
Tsuro plays equally well with anywhere from 2 to 8 people, and is easily understandable for anyone in the suggested age range (8 & up). It's a light strategy game, where the luck of which tiles you draw can largely effect the outcome. However it's a lot of fun, and the short start up and play times make it a great game to have on hand for any group of players.

I saw this game on Wil Wheaton's "Tabletop" web show and was immediately hooked. If you haven't seen it already, go there NOW. [...]
The premise is that you (and up to 7 other players) are dragons, flying around the board. You place a tile on the board and place your dragon on one of the lines printed on the tile. You then move your dragon along the line to the end of the tile. Everyone else does this on their turns. On your next turn, you place another tile adjacent to the one you played previously, so that the lines of the two tiles line up. You then move your dragon along the new line until it terminates. The winner of the game is the one who stays on the board the longest. That's it.
While it sounds boring and simple, the game has some strategy involved. The tiles drawn are random, so it's very possible to draw three tiles that ultimately throw you off the board; or could throw an opponent off. You must plan ahead to ensure that you don't get put into such a position. However, there's not much use in planning more than 1-2 moves in advance, as your opponents' moves will (near the end of the game) greatly affect your plays.
With more than 4-5 players, the game would get hectic very quickly. I've only played with 4 people, but it was still really fun. The first 4-5 turns are relatively boring, as the other players' tiles generally won't interact with your own. It's when you begin linking tiles that things get really interesting and unforeseen connections are made that win or lose the game.
The game plays out (with 4 players) in about 10-15 minutes, so it's a great game to break out while waiting for the rest of your group to arrive. It's also a nice break between longer games like Settlers of Catan or Lords of Waterdeep. Simple, fun, and quick. Can't ask for much more!
The production value of the game is quite high as well. The tiles come on ~2mm thick, plastic-coated cardboard tiles. The playing board is also of similar quality. The "dragon" pieces are plastic, which disappointed me a little, as I thought they'd be stone or some other "higher quality" material. But they're fine as they are. I can see this game lasting a very long time. My only real complaint is that there's no frame into which you could play the tiles. As such, they tend to slide around on the board a little as the interior pieces are played. Having a frame of some kind to keep the pieces lined up would be nice, but is more to satisfy my nit-picky personality.
Two enthusiastic thumbs-up for this one!

I've played this twice with my daughter and one of her friends (11 and 12 years old, respectively). The quality of the board, cards, and marks is good. The cards are heavy stock, making them a little difficult to shuffle, but they work very well when placed on the board.
Game play is simple. For the second game we found that we worked a little harder at strategy, but it was mostly defensive. I can see how it would be even more fun with more players and better chance at knocking someone else off of the board. Games are very quick, just 10-15 minutes for the three of us.
We did have some confusion about what to do with the "dragon" tile. However, after playing it I can see how this might come into play with a larger number of players and better chance at eliminating players during the game.

It's okay.
My friends and I played it a few times. It was okay. Artwork is nice, but the gameplay is somewhat bland. Not terrible, but not great either.

Perfect game for the young and old.
The rules for Tsuro can be learned in 3 min, however the game takes a lifetime to master. Three tiles drawn, one player places a tile and moves their dragon across the paths formed... Read more
