Short, simple, and fun for all. 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.

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…
