Although core gameplay remains the same, some versions feature expanded rules or larger boards.

In both cases, the preferred board size was a 6×6 grid and what became the Dragon tile was initially called the NEXT card.

The Weismans had founded the games publishing company WizKids and reworked Squiggles into Tsuro, switching the original 1950s theme to one that was Japanese-inspired.

WizKids was later acquired by Topps and then NECA, and the rights for the game reverted back to Tom McMurchie.

[6] Ray Wehrs, who had been the director of sales for WizKids, purchased a license from McMurchie and founded Calliope Games in 2011 with Tsuro as its flagship product.

In 2012, actor and blogger Wil Wheaton featured the game in one of his YouTube videos,[7] causing sales to spike.

The game is available for mobile devices and computers with apps developed by Thunderbox Entertainment.

[8][9] The game also has been published in multiple languages including a German, a Greek and a multilingual version.

[10] In addition to the language translation, the game's individual player pieces were little tree figures instead of the dragon stones, and the board was made two-sided, with the other side being a 7×7 grid.

[11] In 2012, Calliope Games published Tsuro of the Seas, which included similar changes,[13] after receiving funding from Kickstarter.

The tsunami tile moves steadily across the board, giving players a new obstacle they must overcome by rolling a die.

[16] Tsuro: Phoenix Rising was initially funded by Kickstarter and released in 2019 by Calliope.

[17] Like the original game, Phoenix Rising is played on a 6×6 board with 36 square tiles, each with four paths.

Tiles are flipped or rotated during play, and the goal of the game is to create and collect seven stars by traversing paths.

[18] In 2022, Calliope Games announced that a "Luxury Limited Edition" of the original Tsuro would be released later that year; changes included upgraded materials, including carved stone tiles, satin tile storage bag, bamboo rules scroll, and wooden box, individually numbered.
