Tsuro
Description
A simple tile laying game that appeals to board gaming newbies and veterans alike, Tsuro pits up to eight players against each other as Chinese dragons.
Players place a tile and follow the path laid before them, while seeking to avoid mid-air collisions or falling off the edge of the board.
With a simple and fast “last dragon standing” goal, Tsuro usually receives multiple plays – and with good reason!

Kyle –
While I can only speak from two-player experience, Tsuro is a quick game to play that is very easy to learn. There is a fair amount strategy but the player isn’t inundated with too many choices seen in classic games like chess. Try to think a few turns into ahead and take note of what your opponent is trying to do.
Tsuro has a wide appeal and can be quite happily played with kids, non-gamers and families alike.
A special note has to be made on the presentation of this game. Tsuro is the most beautifully presented game I have ever seen and has a timeless, classic feel to it. The only way it could look any better would be with an over the top production of wood board, wood tiles and carved marble pieces.
