Calliope Tsuro - The Game of The Path - A Family Strategy Board Game For Adults and Kids 2-8 Players Ages 8 & Up

Easily one of the best games I've ever discovered and I own A LOT of games. It's simple, 2-8 players, and so far the kids age 6 on up have grasped the concept and are good competition. It's playable in 5-15 minutes, but one game is never enough. The quality is great, and the artwork is simple, yet beautiful.

This is one of the most beautifully, simplistic, and fun games, with a ton of replay value, that I have every played! Of all the games that I have - everyone (friends and family) love to play this game and is requested every time we get together. The artwork on the box, game board, tiles, instructions, dragons is beautifully drawn. The rules are simple, you have 3 tiles in hand (different paths are drawn on them), place a tile, more your dragon along the path, and be the last dragon left on the board. The more people that play (8 total) the more fun and strategy there is to keep on the board without falling off (due to your tiles paths or someone else's connecting path) or colliding with another dragon. The games are also fairly quick so if you fall off the board early it's not a long wait to play again. This is an amazing, simplistic, beautiful, high replay, very fun game for casual and hardcore board gamers of all ages! Comparison to its sister game: Tsuro: Of The Seas / Why I bought Tsuro:TGOTP over T:OTS ~ 'Of The Seas' plays just like Tsuro:TGOFP but has some new elements. With artwork just as beautiful the board which is a little bigger (7x7 grid). There are sea monsters that roam the seas, able to remove the paths that they cross & can destroy you if you collide with them. I bought 'The Game Of The Path' over 'Of The Seas' because 'Of The Seas', I think, added too many mechanics (the sea monsters - that move around the board - every single time a player moves based on a dice roll) can knock you out of the game extremely early (especially with more people playing) and removes path tiles that they land on top off - allowing new tile to be placed there: This extended the play time a lot - so if you got knocked out of the game early on, you would be waiting a while before you could play again. You can still play the 'TGOTP' way with 'OTS' by removing the monsters and only playing with a (6x6) grid, but I loved 'TGOTP's artwork more and (since I play with a lot of people) I didn't want that extra wait variable time.

Tsuro plays well at any player count, and I’ve played it with so many people over the years. Fifteen years later, it’s still in my collection and remains a go-to classic for larger groups. It’s easy to teach, quick to play, and always satisfying to watch the paths twist and collide. Simple, elegant, and timeless. Tsuro earned earns its place on my shelf.

A beautiful and fun, Must- Have Game!! Excellent for families and groups of friends alike! With up to 8 players it’s great for bigger groups too (I saw somewhere you can add two boards together for up to 16 but I haven’t done that yet)! The unboxing was even brilliant! We have a lot of board games in our family but it’s harder to find a shorter game that is liked by all ages. We timed a few games with 2 to 4 players (adults and young teens) and averaged 18 min. A game. It will probably go faster the more we play it. We did just get it, but I can’t imagine this one ever getting old! The number of possibilities are pretty much endless. I love that this fast game is as beautiful as it is and the pieces are quality. Calliope has a quick video online to learn it fast or you can enjoy reading the beautiful instructions! It’s thought provoking and I think for younger players (or anyone really) it is a great way to practice thinking a few steps ahead. Also a good game to take on trips as it’s not too big or heavy. I hope your board game playing family enjoys it as much as ours!

Amazing game that is easy, fun, and quick to learn. It can play up to 8 people and fits comfortably on simply tables. Young children can handle this game easily!

Fun game - VERY easy to learn but challenging to play.

Really fun and easy to learn at the same time! Wish it lasted a little longer, but for those that are looking for a 10 minute game, this is a great choice.

We play this game with my 4 yr old, 7 yr old, and 8 yr old. This is one of the easiest game night options for kids in this age range. We play multiple rounds in a sitting and always have a great time. Our friends from out of town introduced us to this game and we immediately had to purchase one of our own. It is exactly as pictured, and while it might seem pricey, it is worth the money for the entertainment.
