    I am undecided how I feel about this game. The mancala gameplay is cool but hard to get used to. I didn't feel like I had a lot of control, but that is probably because it was my first playthrough and in solo mode. I'm kind of feeling like this game should never have had a solo mode. I will hold off on rating this game until I get a chance to play against a human opponent.

    Dragons, eh? I've seen the movies, they're extraordinary aerial acrobats and dead-eyed, fire-breathing killers. Apparantly, the movies got it wrong. In Tao Long we are dueling dragons shuffling pieces around a rondel mancala-style to determine our next move. What this can lead to is a kind of inept and tiresome dance in which neither dragon is able to draw a bead on the other. Playing with portals can make this better or worse. Playing with impassable rocks in the middle of the board definitely increases the frustration. A shame really as the game looks beautiful.

“There was something formless and perfect before the Universe was born. For lack of a better name, I call it the Tao.” —Lao Tsu

Tao Long: The Way of the Dragon is a circular abstract-like game in which each action taken leaves different options for your foe. In it, each player controls a dragon striving to diminish the other whilst bound together by the Tao; you manipulate tokens on a special board in order to activate your dragon, leaving that same board to be manipulated by your opponent on their turn.

Among customizable scenarios and increasingly profound modes, both dragons will move, attack, block each other’s way and seek dominance. At the end, there can be only one… that is, at least until the tides of change come once again.
