Tsoro

It plays as a turn-based family game where you choose seven balls, then drop one per turn into a nearby cell.

Balls that land in your bank score more points than balls in the other holes. Combining certain colors activates star balls, a special ball type that pushes your score higher.

• The board has 10 holes in two rows.
• You pick one hole to be your bank.
• You choose seven balls and drop one each turn.
• Balls in your bank earn more points.
• Matching certain colors activates star balls.

• Pick your bank with care, since every drop goes into a nearby cell and you want as many as possible to reach it.
• Keep track of the colors you have played so you know when a combination for a star ball is close.
• With only seven balls, plan the order of your drops before you start, which is where the brain side of the game comes in.
