Tsuro is a beautifully simple game of laying a tile before your own token to continue its path on each turn. The goal is to keep your token on the board and be the last player surviving.

“Tsuro is a fantastic abstract game that plays quickly at any player count from two to eight and is perfect for introducing newer gamers into the hobby. If it weren’t for the player elimination aspect of the game, I believe Tsuro would be a perfect filler.”

“Because it is an abstract game, Tsuro is timeless and a super distilled experience. I fell in love with the game the very first time I played. It has been a staple of the Gameosity collection for years.”

“4.5. It's a really fun game. Why do you suggest it for a family game? I suggest it because it's fun and you don't know what's going to happen next.”(4:17)

“The gameplay is simple enough, easily taught and learned, and a game lasts at most 20 to 30 minutes, and you'll probably want to play another game. Yes, there's a lot of luck with the tiles you draw, but there's some strategy involved, too.”

I Slay the Dragon, WolfieArticle

“For a quick fix, a filler game, a box and components that will catch the eye and have people asking “what is this?” and wanting to join the next game (and be able to, since it’s so short and easy to explain), Tsuro is highly recommended. It’s light and peaceful and enjoyable.”

“Tsuro may be a family, or even a party game, but that doesn’t mean it lacks a puzzly element that gamers can appreciate. It can be as relaxing or as challenging as you want to make it.”

“I'm basing this on the filler type aspect of the game because this is a fellow game, this is not a hardcore strategic type game, and with a component quality, um, just the strategy and simplistic of teaching and learning it, it's really great, um, so four out of five.”(5:55)

Board Game Reviews by Josh, JoshArticle

“What it does, it does extremely well! I would definitely recommend it to all ages that they try the game, and if you are looking for a good front-porch style game that can be played with non-gamers, it is one of the best options I have encountered.”

The Board Game Family, TrentArticle

“Tsuro is a board game that always begs to be played again. The great thing about the length of Tsuro is that it allows you to stop when you’re ready. It plays very quickly and you never feel like it’s dragging on.”
