Tsuro
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 longer than anyone else's, but as the board fills up this becomes harder because there are fewer empty spaces left and another player's tile may also extend your own path in a direction you'd rather not go. Easy to introduce to new players, lasts a mere 15 minutes.
What is Tsuro
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 longer than anyone else's, but as the board fills up this becomes harder because there are fewer empty spaces left and another player's tile may also extend your own path in a direction you'd rather not go. Easy to introduce to new players, lasts a mere 15 minutes.
Tsuro has an Asian spiritual theme - the lines representing the "many roads that lead to divine wisdom", and the game as a whole representing "the classic quest for enlightenment". This theme is very light and the game essentially plays as an abstract strategy game.
The game consists of tiles with twisting lines on them, a 6x6 grid on which to lay these tiles and a token for each player. Each player has a hand of tiles. On your turn you do two things: place a tile from your hand onto the board next to your token and move your token as far as it can go along the line it is currently on, until it is stopped by an empty space with no tile in (yet), the edge of the board or colliding with another player's token. If your token reaches the edge of the board or collides with another player's token, you are out of the game. The aim of the game is to be the last player left with a token on the board. Strategy therefore consists of trying to drive your opponents either into each other or off the board whilst extending your own route in directions that will make it difficult for your opponents to do the same.

What the community says about Tsuro
Un juego con una mecánica muy sencilla y divertida que funciona bastante bien tanto para abrir o cerrar una noche de juegos o echar unas partidas entre juegos pesados y acepta un gran número de jugadores
Juego con el que abrimos una sesión, rápido, dinámico, sin errores.
Josué
Juego familiar, que admite creo que hasta 8 jugadores, que se explica muy rápido y se juega más rápido aún. Hay eliminación de jugadores, pero la partida es tan rápida, que da absolutamente igual. En el turno del jugador, lo que debe hacerse es jugar una loseta, que se puede colocar según convenga, para prolongar un camino y las piedas que estén involucradas en ese camino deben continuar "su viaje". El objetivo es quedarte tu solo, con lo que cuando sea posible, los jugadores jugarán partidas, para echar al contrario. Entretenido y recomendable. Para toda la familia y admite grupos grandes.
Simple and Great game, feel relaxing, i think it should become a clasic to be placed into an office or else, very reflective of the path of life.

2-8 J. (4, 6 mejor). Juego realmente sencillo, incluso simple. La mejor estrategia es mantenerte alejado de los demás el mayor tiempo posible.
Quick and easy game for the bigger group. Wouldn't recommend this for less than 4 players, but can recommend this for more than 5 players. Easy to explain, not too much to think, some luck involved.
