Product Description
Takenoko Board Game | Bamboo Farming Game | Panda Themed Strategy Fun Family Game for Adults and Kids | Ages 8+ | 2-4 Players | Average Playtime 45 Minutes | Made by Matagot
Takenoko is a popular board game designed by Antoine Bauza and published by Bombyx and Asmodee. It was released in 2011 and has gained a significant following since then. The game is set in imperial Japan, where players take on the roles of courtiers, tasked with caring for a giant panda named Takenoko and cultivating a bamboo garden.
The objective of the game is to earn points by completing various tasks and meeting certain conditions. Players take turns performing actions such as growing bamboo, irrigating plots, moving the panda, and drawing objective cards. The game incorporates elements of strategy, resource management, and a little bit of luck.
The central component of Takenoko is a modular board that represents the garden. It consists of hexagonal tiles, each with different types of terrain: plots for growing bamboo, irrigation channels, and special locations for the panda to visit. The game also includes colorful bamboo sections, weather dice, objective cards, and other tokens.
Players must carefully plan their actions to maximize their chances of fulfilling objectives. For example, they may need to grow bamboo of specific heights, create certain patterns of irrigated plots, or feed the panda with specific types and quantities of bamboo. Each completed objective card earns players points, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Takenoko is known for its beautiful artwork and high-quality components, which add to the overall enjoyment of the game. It is suitable for 2 to 4 players and is often praised for its accessible gameplay and engaging theme, making it a great choice for both casual and experienced board gamers.
The players take the role of courtesans of the Nippon emperor. They take care of his Giant Panda by growing a bamboo plantation. Their mission: to farm parcels of land, irrigate them, and have green, yellow or pink bamboo grow.
In turn, they see what the weather brings and perform two actions from among those offered to them: get a new plot of land or irrigation channel, grow bamboo, feed the panda or draw an objective card. The game ends when a player has completed 7 to 9 objectives (depending on the number of players). The player who gets the best score by adding the total value of their completed objective wins the game.
