A Path Into Gaming
Tsuro is a game with a very simple concept: be the last player on the board. You do this by laying tiles which link to create winding paths around the board, which inevitably end up running off the board altogether. But be careful - colliding with another player results in a double elimination.
Because it boasts such trivial mechanics, it is very easy to pick up and play a few rounds quickly (some games can last under 10 minutes including setup), as well as being one that young children could enjoy. The player meeples have a good quality feel, and it can be satisfying watching the winding paths in the game board grow.
However, it very quickly becomes obvious just how simple this game is - winning is often less about trying to run your opponents off the board as it is trying to keep yourself in play for as long as possible, until you inevitably take yourself out of the game.
Tsuro, then, is an inviting game for introducing regular folk to the mad world of tabletop gaming, and is a solid option for beginning a proper games night with its simplicity and charm. I used it recently myself as a sweetner to help ease a new player into game night, and it worked a treat. It probably won't make regular appearances however.
I like it. Worth a look.

Play tiles to keep your dragon in play by not crashing into other dragons or flying off the board.
It's good as a quick game while waiting for people to show up. You probably wouldnxt want to play it multiple times in a row.

Games are usually very short.
Board game for beginners
Tsuro, a game I first found out about from Tabletop episodes. This game is very much as advertised there, easy to pick up and play, and can be a bit of a laugh when you outplay others.
I very much enjoy this game, and I think the casual nature can lead much to desire, however there are times when I would like a more longer and intense game then the 5 minute short bursts.

Elegant
Easy to learn and teach
Good with larger player counts
Good Simple quick game for large groups. normally i hate player elimination but for a 10 minute game it's ok.
this is a fun little filler game, perfect if everyone is sitting around talking and not really paying attention or don't want to pay close attention. The object is to lay down tiles and follow the path trying to keep your pawn alive as long as possible, and out last everyone else. that's it, that is the game.
