The art work, etc. looks so compelling -- is it possible to START with this Tsuro without any knowledge of the first game?

Yes. You can play this game like the first. Just don't use the dragons, make a wake to stay on the board.

I bought this game for a Christmas present for my daughter so I don't know. I'd be more than happy to ask her for you.
1601020
Absolutely. The game is pretty easy to jump into. No prior experience necessary.
1601021
Absolutely. This isn't a continuation of the first game. This is a version of the first game with expanded game play. Set-up and reading the instructions is simple and you should be able to play and understand the game pretty quickly.
1601022
As others have said, this is really a different version ofthe game, not an expansion or sequel. So yeah, this requires no prior knowledge or experience.

I never played the first game, and this one took maybe 10 minutes to learn. Once you figure it out, it only takes 1 or 2 minutes to teach the other players to play the game. My 11yo nephew had it down in under a minute. I recommend searching for Tabletop on YouTube. That's where I first saw the game played online. So I knew how to play it watching that. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWa5RB0aM34

Sorry to say Japanese, I can't understand it. But I've been able to figure most of it out and it's great, a must have for all collectors of the series and Yugi-Oh fans!

It is in Japanese (the digimons names, etc.) the only parts in English are some main menu words. But!!, it is worth it it is fun and easy to understand how to play. There is no other digivices like this one. The English one is like the older digivices, as in like tamagotchi type. This one is colored and loaded with digimon and battles and doubles as an mp3 if u have a sd card. The only thing is I can't find digi memory for it only the one it comes with. It's a fun buy.

Sorry, no. But there are some translations online for the menu and the tutorial:http://www.gamefaqs.com/vita/684062-senran-kagura-shinovi-versus-shoujotachi-no/wiki/1-1-game-screensThere is hope for it being translated since the 3ds version sold well. All you can do is support to company and eventually it will come over to English. Although it is not in English it is still play able and it is a fluid and fun game to see your combos.

I would begin with the first volume first, then add the 2nd after you are familiar with the first one. They are both challenging in their own way and you would be very overwhelmed by all the new moves if you tried them both at once. The second volume has very complex drills (but he uses them over and over again...so after doing the videos 3-4 times you will have them). I would not recommend starting them both at the same time, though. Too many new things to learn.

Absolutely. It's difficult at first but we got the hang of it pretty quick. I'd highly recommend watching a few play through videos before you try it out.

No you don't need to buy the first one, it's a completely different story than any other Final Fantasy game with new races, it's very different than normal offline versions of Final Fantasy and even Final Fantasy XI online.It's an online cooperative multiplayer with a little pvp thrown in with a monthly fee and similar to World of Warcraft but without add-ons and a big plus is the newly added mounts and minion pets and the game looks beautiful especially on PS4 and PC.

Is there a Hong Kong version?! I am finding out just now! ajajajaja so, obviously, this is the Japanese Version! Hope you buy it and enjoy it! Every figure in this line is a MUST! :P

Yes to both, it seems. I have never played the original, but the story seems to be a direct continuation from it. That might explain why some of the "tutorials" seem a bit lacking, but I can't say for sure. Personally, I didn't mind playing this one without the original. It's easy enough to figure out the basic premise, and, at least for me, it gave it a mystery feel. I didn't know exactly what had happened before, so I was piecing it together as I went. Side note: I do recommend that you get the wii-mote + if you don't already have it. The newer Wii games are much better with the fine-tuned sensors. I hope that answered your questions.

To be honest, no. It's difficult, but difficult in a way that's often very rewarding for a player when the time and effort is put in to learn monster attack patterns and optimal attack strategies per weapon. There are guides all over the internet and on YouTube to help a new player out with these things; I recommend ProJared's Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate videos for help starting out, and then a good search of whatever weapons a new player wants to pick up to see them in action. My first night playing I knew nothing and it took several hours for my group to down our first big monster, but then I watched, listened and practiced and the next night we played I was fantastic, knew where to go, how to hit and was prepared for everything that could be thrown at us. It's not easy to play, but it feels really, really good when you start to master it.

I've played all of them, because I can't let go of my childhood. They are all good except for (black 2 and white 2) but they all teach you how to play the game while you're playing it without you really noticing. If it were me I would get omega ruby or alpha sapphire since they are updates to a previous version. I hope this helped!

You can play it in the same way as the original, the only difference being that in Tsuro of the Seas you're a boat instead of a dragon. Both games are more or less identical, except that of the Seas features Daikaiju you need to roll for and avoid with your boat.

There's no english subs unless you get a version made for an english release. There has been an official port. I suggest looking that up. I have both versions.

Yes:You can play the original Tsuro by branching off a 6×6 portion of the board and removing all of the duplicate wake tiles. One of the daikaiju tiles can be used as the dragon tile. I have more information if you're looking for it in my review (check my Amazon profile for a link to my website).

no :/ it's all in japanese.. You will have to learn the language (me included) before you can play. Personally i learned the instructions through chihayafuru, the anime. I also found an interesting link with the them here though: http://karuta.game.coocan.jp/detailedrule-e.html

Yes, absolutely. Play it on the easiest difficulty your first time through as you learn the mechanics (normal, classic) and dont be afraid to look up any questions online. I had never played an FE game before and I loved it.

Yes You will have to restart from the beginning and no you cannot play previous saved from the original but make sure if you do get this excellent game you install the 2nd cd first before playing the 1st because there's a lot of different stuff on the the 2nd that doesn't include the 1st. I learned the hard way lol had to restart but this game is the best even tho I completed it about 3 times but its a lot to discover.
