Review: Tsuro Board Game

My husband recently purchased the board game "Tsuro" by Calliope Games after hearing great reviews.  We love to play interesting board games, but sometimes it's hard to find good board games that everyone in the family can enjoy but doesn't take a lot of time.  Tsuro does just that.  We've played with our 9 and 6 year old, and they love it, and the adults find it challenging as well.  It's quick to play; a game can be as fast as 15 minutes, unless you have some players that want to overly think their moves.

Each player has a token, that is placed on one of the markers on the edge of the board.  The token can be placed anywhere.  Each player is then dealt three path cards, then they take turns placing a path card, and moving their token where the path leads.  Once path cards join together, the token can move quite far as the paths twist and turn across the cards.

Tsuro can be played with 2 to 8 players.  We've played with 2 players and with 4, and the dynamic was different in each game.  I can't imagine how complex 8 players could be, planning out moves so you don't hit any of the other seven tokens.
