TakenokoSKU: 3760267990861

Long ago, the Emperor of China, in a gesture of peace, offered the Emperor of Japan a Giant Panda. You have been appointed to the dedicate task of caring for this politically important Panda and tending to the Emperor's illustrious bamboo garden.

You must cultivate plots of land using irrigation and intelligence so that bamboo, the only food that the Panda will eat, grows in abundance. But beware of the sacred animal's uncontrollable appetite for crunchy young sprouts...

Review: In Takenoko, players take the role of the Emperor Farmer, growing bamboo and feeding a panda in his garden. On a player?s turn, the player performs two of five actions: add a tile to the garden; add an irrigation path; move the emperor?s gardener to make an area bamboo grow higher; move the Emperor?s panda to eat a bamboo piece; and/or to draw more objective cards (to score points).

Score points if one of your objective card(s) match the shape of the garden; or the height of the bamboo; or the colour of bamboos the Panda has eaten.

Great theme, easy to learn, every time you play it is different, and lots fun!
