Takenoko / Each

Long, 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 delicate 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.



Each game comes with 28 plots, 36 green bamboo sections, 30 yellow bamboo sections, 24 pink bamboo sections, 20 irrigation channels, 9 improvements, 46 objective cards, four individual boards, eight action chips, one weather die, one panda, one gardener and one rule booklet.



This game is recommended for 2-4 players ages 8 and up. The average playing time is 45 minutes.
