Tsuro: Phoenix Rising

Players guide phoenix miniatures across a modular sky board, laying and flipping double-sided path tiles to steer toward floating lanterns. Touching lanterns converts them to stars; the first phoenix to form a constellation of seven new stars wins. Tiles rotate and flip during play, creating shifting routes and diverging movement options. Phoenixes that collide or exit the board are removed but may return once using a rebirth token. The game combines tile placement, tactical movement, and limited life management as players balance creating paths and avoiding elimination.
