Another cool board game

A few weeks ago I got the phone call from my friendly local gamestore that finally another game I saw on Tabletop had come in.

Tsuro - The Way of the Path.  A gorgeously produced game with a simple yet strong gameplay.

The players are dragons, or perhaps dragon-riders, who must fly the path as it is revealed before them without either crashing into another player or being on a path that leads the off the edge of the board.

The box is beautiful.  Opening it reveals a beautiful rice paper insert first, then the heavy card board folded in four.  The rules are on a piece of folded card.  The tiles that form the paths are neatly stowed in the box, as are the player markers.

I'm thinking if I could find about 8 smallish Asian dragon figures they'd be fun to paint and would add to the feel of the game.  

The kids don't quite appreciate the strategy of it yet, but they'll grow into it.  We had a game of it on Easter Sunday with more adult players and it went really well.
