Tsuro is one of our favorite family board games.
It’s simple to play, good for all ages, plays in under 15 minutes, has fantastic components, and can handle up to 8 players.
So when we heard a few years ago that Calliope Games had published Tsuro of the Seas, we were anxious to play it.
Well, now that we’ve played it a few times, we’re ready to answer the all important question, “Is Tsuro of the Seas better than Tsuro?

This coming weekend is the 4th of July, when we’ll celebrate Independence Day in the US.
So it’s the perfect time to review a board game centered on the American Revolution – 1775: Rebellion.

But this isn’t the case with 1775: Rebellion. Because 1775: Rebellion is actually a very fun game!
