## Description

desertcart.com: Calliope Tsuro - The Game of The Path - A Family Strategy Board Game For Adults and Kids 2-8 Players Ages 8 & Up : Toys & Games

Review: Easy game with some strategy, brings in non gamers. - This game is fantastic and draws people in who normally are not table top gamers. Pro: This game is extremely easy to learn, the mechanic of it is very fun, and the more people you have the more fun it is. The design of the game is very simple, yet very exciting and relatively fast paced. You get through a game in 10 min and the thinking that is involved is good solid strategically thinking. Con: My only draw back with this game is how repayable it is. You could argue that the game is different every time, and this is true from a piece, location and movement aspect, but the strategies don’t change. Most of the fun is in your first 5 games learning a strategy that works, and from here you are never forced to re-invent yourself or adjust your main strategy. This can get a bit boring (especially for more advanced gamers). Kids: I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old who play and love this game. They didn’t struggle with understanding the rules at all, and love playing the game. They love to push their pawns towards each other and turn at the last minute (which is actually a very good strategy moving towards the middle of the board and then claiming a side to try and stall out the other players). I would recommend it for a mature 5 year old and certainly for 6 and 7 year olds and older who like games. Overall: This game rocks overall, the only con I had was a slight one, and people who play it once or see it played usually get excited to continue to play it. This has become a family favorite, it is also a game we know we can break out at any time, with any crowd anywhere and have fun with.
Review: Fantastic, quick game! - I saw this game on Wil Wheaton's "Tabletop" web show and was immediately hooked. If you haven't seen it already, go there NOW. [...] The premise is that you (and up to 7 other players) are dragons, flying around the board. You place a tile on the board and place your dragon on one of the lines printed on the tile. You then move your dragon along the line to the end of the tile. Everyone else does this on their turns. On your next turn, you place another tile adjacent to the one you played previously, so that the lines of the two tiles line up. You then move your dragon along the new line until it terminates. The winner of the game is the one who stays on the board the longest. That's it. While it sounds boring and simple, the game has some strategy involved. The tiles drawn are random, so it's very possible to draw three tiles that ultimately throw you off the board; or could throw an opponent off. You must plan ahead to ensure that you don't get put into such a position. However, there's not much use in planning more than 1-2 moves in advance, as your opponents' moves will (near the end of the game) greatly affect your plays. With more than 4-5 players, the game would get hectic very quickly. I've only played with 4 people, but it was still really fun. The first 4-5 turns are relatively boring, as the other players' tiles generally won't interact with your own. It's when you begin linking tiles that things get really interesting and unforeseen connections are made that win or lose the game. The game plays out (with 4 players) in about 10-15 minutes, so it's a great game to break out while waiting for the rest of your group to arrive. It's also a nice break between longer games like Settlers of Catan or Lords of Waterdeep. Simple, fun, and quick. Can't ask for much more! The production value of the game is quite high as well. The tiles come on ~2mm thick, plastic-coated cardboard tiles. The playing board is also of similar quality. The "dragon" pieces are plastic, which disappointed me a little, as I thought they'd be stone or some other "higher quality" material. But they're fine as they are. I can see this game lasting a very long time. My only real complaint is that there's no frame into which you could play the tiles. As such, they tend to slide around on the board a little as the interior pieces are played. Having a frame of some kind to keep the pieces lined up would be nice, but is more to satisfy my nit-picky personality. Two enthusiastic thumbs-up for this one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In addition to the "Can it be played/is it fun with 2 players" question, can anyone out there recommend a good game that IS fun with just 2 players?**
A: This is a quick and easy to learn game with short playtime.  I would recommend Castles of Burgundy if you are a gamer.  It is a highly rated 2-4 player game and is excellent with 2 players.  Watch a youtube video on it first though, it is not a game of Sorry or Candyland.   Also I saw a recommendation for Agricola, it has all but been replaced by Caverna.http://boardgamegeek.com/ rates games and lets you know what the gaming mechanic is.  Also I see you say you have a hard time getting groups together.  If you like board games you might be able to find groups on meetup.com.  I live in a medium sized city and there are two groups I belong to.I just found this thread as well. http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/164769/best-two-player-husbandwife-games

**Q: Is this game fun to play with only two players?**
A: It is fun to play with two players but the more players you have the more crazy interactions on the board you will have. I thoroughly recommend this game even if you are only playing with two people.

**Q: Do you also sell the giant tsuro - life sized game?**
A: No, I don't either and my game is in the German language.

**Q: Is this for advanced player?**
A: Not really. It is an easy mechanic my nephews (5 and 6 years old) loves it. It can con into a little more indeph strategy bit I feel not that much. Palate cleanser in between big games.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful and Fun Must-Have game for families and friends!
*by X***7 on January 4, 2026*

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!
