Zura

About this board game

Zura is a 30-minute game for 2–4 players, in which children journey across a mystical land to find the legendary Tzerzurians and make the stars shine once again.

Each year at the Summer Solstice, the adults of Zura take their teenagers beyond the mountains on an arduous journey of initiation. Their destination is Tzerzura, a mystical oasis deep in the desert and part of the community’s long-standing heritage as guardians of the balance.

But while the teenagers are away, the stars suddenly stop shining. Without the stars in the sky, the travelers cannot find their way home. The village elders are too wary to cross the desert themselves, so they share the legend of the Tzerzurians with their grandchildren and ask the young children to begin a journey of their own.

In Zura, players venture into the far reaches of the land in search of these legendary beings. The central challenge is to play as many travel cards of the same type as possible. The more matching cards a player plays, the better their chances of finding the Tzerzurians and restoring the stars for their parents’ return.

• Journey through a mystical setting inspired by legend and desert adventure.
• Play matching travel cards to improve your chances of success.
• Encounter other beings who have become trapped in the mystical confusion.

With its tale of determined children, vanished starlight, and a search across distant lands, Zura turns a simple card-playing objective into a race to bring light back to the night sky.
