Relatives were visiting over the weekend and we played Tsuro with the kids. It's really easy to learn, quick to play, and has some strategy to it.

My copy of Tsuro is so beat up at this point because it’s been my go to starter game for people who don’t play a lot of board games. I love that there is really only one mechanic to understand, giving new players a chance to only have to consider a few things in their turn.

@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It's the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

@Dharkstare @boardgames We really enjoy Tsuro as a great gateway game for friends and family new to boardgames. :)

When guests come over who don't normally game this is the gateway game to get started with. Easy to explain and lots of fun.

I really like Tsuro, but when I introduce it to people, they find it boring. I don’t get it! Yes, it’s simple, but you can really use some strategy to influence the board. Maybe my friends just don’t like when I roar at them as our pieces pass.

I have a great memory at PAX of playing life-size Tsuro, where the players are the pieces. Good fun :)

Here is the bgg link Tsuro - thank you for the nice suggestion! How old were the kids you played with?

[-] Dharkstare@mastodon.world 2 points 1 year ago

@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that's probably accurate.

Omg yes Tsuro is outstanding! I really want to try the variants but the original is just so good.
