## Description
Get ready for a frantic rush in Toru! This party game is pure adrenaline, where speed and attention are your greatest assets. Each player starts with seven chips, each bearing one of ten different symbols. The magic happens when everyone, simultaneously, passes a chip to their left, shouting 'TO!', and receives one from their right neighbor, saying 'RU'. The goal? To be the fastest to collect four chips with one symbol and three with another. As soon as someone achieves this combination, it's time to shout 'TORU!' and try to snatch one of the dragons placed in the center of the table. Be careful, as there's always one less dragon than the number of players, so the competition is fierce! Whoever grabs a dragon scores a point, and if the dragon's color matches the color of a secret token you received at the start of the round, you get two points! The first to reach eight points is the grand winner. Toru is perfect for livening up any gathering, blending luck, quick reflexes, and a touch of fun chaos. It's a game that doesn't require much brainpower but will test your reflexes and your ability to stay calm under pressure. Ideal for those seeking lighthearted fun and guaranteed laughs.
