Description

Create your own journey with Tsuro: The Game of the Path. Place a tile and slide your stone along the path created, but take care! Other players’ paths can lead you in the wrong direction - or off the board entirely!

History

Tsuro is Thunderbox Entertainment's first collaboration with our friends at Calliope Games. They make board games that have elegant mechanics, are easy to learn and play, take less than an hour, and are well-suited to a digital adaptation.

We wanted to recreate the wonderful artwork and tactile experience of Tsuro, and enhance it with new modes and feature that are impossible to realize in cardboard.

Tsuro was met with critical success and earned a 4.6 star rating on the App Store. It was chosen as Free App of the Week in August 2017. The latest update introduced an AR tabletop mode to take advantage of the newest Apple features.

Features

Tactile - The board game was modeled in full 3D and the UI provides a tactile experience that revolves around moving the pieces, not pushing buttons.
Social - Easy for anyone to learn, and fun for up to 8 players around one device or online.
Enhanced - Devious AI and exclusive digital game modes to challenge you.
