5.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly refreshing game, July 25, 2006

By	Robert M. Juneau - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Playing this game the first time is like playing go the first time: you are overcome by a sense that there is a tremendous amount of complexity in such seemingly simple rules. The primary difference is that, unlike go, Tsuro is comprehensible. The game board is a series of tiles that always interconnect. The player has a stone that must move along its path, and its path must always grow. The path you lay now can result in another player being forced off the board later, or for two player's paths to interconnect. As more players are added, the amount of complexity and strategy in the game increases exponentially.

I played this game for the first time last night, and by this morning the people I was playing with had already tried out rules variants that utterly change the nature of play, as well as coming up with a light framework for gambling on it that we didn't try.

I could be wrong, but I think this game or some variant on it will ultimately rank with chess, go, and mancala as a defining game in history.

I'm also going to rank it as light strategy - the rules are simpler and the thought process is easier learned than say chess or go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Fun, July 29, 2006

By	Wisconsin Dad (Wisconsin United States) - See all my reviews

This is a very unique game. Players lays cards, doing their best to not slide off the game board, and doing their best to push others players off. My family loved it.

The learning curve is 2 minutes, and the game will enver be the same twice. Great family fun, and great for up to 8 players as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tsuro is great fun for the family!, December 4, 2007

By	Carolyn K. "Mrs. Hoagie" (Hoagies' Gifted Education Page) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

Draw cards, and use them to create a path for your playing piece to follow. But watch out for the other players' paths, and whatever you do, don't let your path lead to the edges of the board.

The board and cards are unusually attractive, and the game is different than any I've seen. Sturdy and fun, sure to be a family favorite for years.

Kids as young as 4 or 5, to kids as old as... me!, anyone who can create and follow a path will enjoy Tsuro. And the great thing is, we can all play together, old and young. Great family game!
