Tsuro -

Build your own Path without your opponents steering you 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: You place your stones, select your tiles, and attempt to build a safe Path for your journey. The Paths of other players cross and connect, so the choices you make affect all the journeys across the board. Tsuro is recommended for 2–8 players ages 8 and up. Stay on the right Path—your journey begins here.

uh....wha...?


m'kay.....


sounds interesting.....I guess.....

Uh,...yeah....ok

I think it looks pretty.

They showed a quick demo of this at WW Philly and it looks interesting. Its certainly a huge departure from what they typically do.

The goal of the game is simple, stay on the board.

You start off on one side of the board and put down a tile that has 4 winding lines, and then move your game piece to follow one of the lines.
You can put a tile in front of your own piece to move further into the board, or in front of your opponent to move them toward the edge.

I guess its hard to describe, and it looked pretty simple, but also with the potential for some game depth.

What no TsuroRealms?

Actually I am encourged by this move into more tradional (non-collectible) games. The price point seems a little high, but the market for such games is much better understood, at least in some quarters...so the price point may be just right for an initial production run.

I will continually hope for some 'non-collectable' HeroClix sets like the Marvel Universe starter. My suggestions would be a DC Scenario with a map and actual figures (Bank Robbery with Royal Flush Gang, or an Easy Company set, or a Gorilla City map with Gorillas!). Small non-collectable runs (with more possible production) have got to be more stable for the business.

It's a lot like drunk driving, but without the fatalities, police, and insurance hassles...

ummmmmmm; This is a complete ripoff of the game Metro:

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Drunk Tsuro?

I'll grab the keg.

sounds pretty fun

on a slightly related topic, i read in the new white wolf quarterly that wizkids is doing the sculpts for figures for the vampire boardgame as well...this might be a good venture for the company to grow a bit more

this game does indeed look fun

It looks like someone at Wizkids went to a Ren Faire, this is not an "all new" game, it's based on a very old one. The original is from the fourteen hundreds, fits in a small pouch and is very fun to play. Looks like Wizkids is branching out, good for them.

It doesn't look like my cup of tea. Although for people who are interested, the price tag isn't that bad. A lot of boardgames come out of the starting gate nowadays with a forty to fifty dollar price tag on them, so a cost of twenty something isn't that outrageous at all. ...Now if only WK would try to restart Shadowrun: Duels...

Is there a reason this is on a heroclix site? can i use clix instead of tiles?
