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.
@cetan@Dharkstare@boardgames It's a good choice. It's unusual (compared to mainstream boardgames) but not unfamiliar, it's tactile, and it's aesthetically pleasing.
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.
