What's It About?

TSURO - THE GAME OF THE PATH is a strategy game (based on a board game) where players try to stay in the game as long as possible. Each player chooses a distinct starting location on the board. They then take turns placing tile cards that contain pieces of a path. Their game token immediately moves along the path they have created. The primary goal of the game is to keep from falling off the game board, while simultaneously trying to force your opponent(s) off. Since you only have three path cards to work with during a turn, it's essential to plan ahead. You also have to avoid other players as they may have the opportunity to place a path card that sends you off the board. There are two alternative game goals that require you to create the most number of loops or create the longest path. AI opponents have three play levels: silly, clever, and tricky. You can also play with live players on a shared device or through peer-to-peer connections, Facebook, Game Center, or a random match.

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

For a game that appears to be quite simple, winning requires plenty of thought and maybe even some devious moves. Tsuro - The Game of the Path is a delightful strategy game with basic game play that can be enjoyed by a range of ages. The visuals and sound effects are calming, but don't let your guard down! One false move can send your token careening right off the board. In a world of high-pressure games, it's refreshing to have a challenging option where nothing's trying to shoot or eat you. Sure, multiplayer mode can be glitchy, occasionally getting out of synch or crashing, but overall this is a perfect, quiet game for families.
