Board Game: Tsuro
Tom McMurchie's path-building survival game Tsuro debuted in 2005 from U.S. publisher WizKids, then it was picked up in 2009 by Calliope Games and it's remained in print ever since. Three spin-off titles have been released during that time, with Tsuro of the Seas and Tsuro: Phoenix Rising still being available whereas Asteroid Escape was a one-off French publication with a Star Wars license.

The gameplay in all of these titles is similar: Try to be the last player still on the game board. At the start of play, 2-8 players take turns placing their token on the perimeter of the game board. On a turn, place one of the three tiles in your hand adjacent to your token, then move that token (and any other adjacent tokens) along the paths on the tile you just placed. If your path reaches the edge of the game board or your token goes head-to-head with that of another player, then you're out of the game, shuffling any remaining tiles in hand into the deck. Keep playing until one player is still on the board.

To celebrate the game's longevity, Calliope Games plans to release Tsuro: Luxury Limited Edition, a one-off production run that has been in development for more than eight years, according to the publisher. Here's how Calliope describes this release:

We couldn't think of a better way to continue the Tsuro legacy than crafting a limited-edition keepsake version of this family favorite!

Board Game: Tsuro

The Tsuro: Luxury Limited Edition experience is presented in a beautifully crafted wooden game box with vintage finishes. The rules are brilliantly emblazoned across a bamboo scroll. Stone textured tiles are individually carved with their unique path configuration and will be selected by players from a beautifully embroidered satin bag. Each unique metal pawn represents a memorable piece of Tsuro's mythological history, from the fierce dragon to the awe-inspiring phoenix. Finally, the iconic dragon tile has been replaced with a shining gold statuette — a true centerpiece for your collection for years to come.
Each copy of Tsuro: Luxury Limited Edition will be numbered, and it retails for US$350. You can sign up to be notified of this item's availability here.
