A generation later, Amazon Trail players are finally realizing their dreams.

I grew up in the rural suburbs where every house sat on its own couple of acres. I was a tomboy in heart and actions, and I always played with the boys. We would build forts and defend them vigorously. But my favorite game was spotlight, a version of tag we believed we had invented all by ourselves. We played at night across the backyards of several of our houses, hiding in the darkness and among the trees, sneaking in the shadows to get safely back to base before the kid with the flashlight found us.

Alas, my favorite design, Leopard by Kiyoshi Kuroda, cannot be imported to the United States. It is a breathtaking depiction of the true beauty of women--strong, resilient, yet soft and lovely. A design that goes straight to the heart.
