Game suggestion - Through the Desert

This Reiner Knizia game (originally published in German as "Durch die Wuste") incorporates elements of two of the games we love on this site: Hex and Go.

This is a connection game using hexagons, and one way to score points is by surrounding territory (there are many other ways). It's a superb game for 2-5 players. It could obviously be implemented here as a 2-player, and might also be the first here to allow more than two.

More info about this classic is available here:

You can already play Through the Desert online at a French site: www.ludagora.net (there it's known under its German name Durch die Wuste).

Of course it could still be a good addition to this site(ludagora doesn't support tournaments and that would be more fun!) but maybe some other games, not yet available online, would be better?
