From the publisher's website:

Create your own journey with Tsuro: The Game of the Path! Place a tile and slide your stone along the path created, but take care. Other players’ paths can lead you in the wrong direction—or off the board entirely! Paths will cross and connect, and the choices you make affect all the journeys across the board. Find your way wisely and be the last player left on the board to win. The Dragon’s playful exterior hides a heartbreaking secret from his past. From the beginning of time, the mischievous Dragon and the beautiful Phoenix were charged with overseeing the winding paths that lead to divine wisdom—even though precious few souls ever reach this utopian destination. For eons, the Dragon and Phoenix performed their task nobly as masters of the hidden paths known to the ancient ones as Tsuro. One dark and gloomy day, Ares arrived seeking the power of Tsuro, driving away the Phoenix and enlisting the Dragon as a general of war. When Calliope was freed, the Dragon joined her, not only to assist her in her quest, but also to find the path that would lead him back to his beloved Phoenix. Even though the Dragon frequently uses his mischievous enlightenment!
