Players build their own Paths without opponents steering them in the wrong direction — or off the board. Tsuro is the quick-playing game in which directions can change as easily as the game plays. The rules are simple: Players place their stones, select their tiles and attempt to build a safe Path for their journeys. The Paths of other players cross and connect, so the choices made affect all the journeys across the board. Tsuro is recommended for 2 to 8 players. The game includes a game board, a Dragon tile, 8 markers and 35 playing tiles. Launch date: October 2005.
