Tsuro: Phoenix Rising

About this board game

Tsuro: Phoenix Rising is a tile-laying path game for 2–8 players, with games lasting about 50 minutes. Guide a magical phoenix through a changing sky, creating a constellation of seven new stars to become the champion.

Like the classic Tsuro foundation, the game centers on playing tiles, moving pawns, and staying in play. However, the board introduces a new dimension: its double-sided tiles can flip and rotate throughout the game, changing the paths as play develops.

Every tile placement can create diverging routes and open new strategies. As the paths shift, phoenixes must navigate the evolving board while players work toward the goal of transforming glowing paper lanterns into stars.

• Dynamic board: Double-sided tiles flip and rotate during the game.
• Star-creating objective: Build a constellation of seven new stars.
• Rebirth mechanic: Life tokens allow a phoenix to be reborn from the ashes once per game.
• Distinctive components: The game features phoenix miniatures and lantern tokens.

Inspired by a tale of hopeful people sending lanterns toward the heavens, Tsuro: Phoenix Rising brings a vivid theme to its evolving path system. Clever phoenixes soar from lantern to lantern, and their enchanted touch changes those lanterns into new stars.

With its shifting routes, striking components, and one-time chance to rise again, Tsuro: Phoenix Rising offers a fresh chapter in the legacy of Tsuro while retaining the simple foundations of tile placement and movement.
