I've only played this once -- it was a little clunky getting started. We definitely had to keep referring to the instruction booklet, but once we got used to the different parts we started sailing through the game.

A long time ago at the Japanese Imperial court, the Chinese Emperor offered a giant panda bear as a symbol of peace to the Japanese Emperor. Since then, the Japanese Emperor has entrusted his court members (the players) with the difficult task of caring for the animal by tending to his bamboo garden. In Takenoko, the players will cultivate land plots, irrigate them, and grow one of the three species of bamboo (Green, Yellow and Pink) with the help of the Imperial gardener to maintain this bamboo garden. They will have to bear with the immoderate hunger of this sacred animal for the juicy and tender bamboo. The player who manages his land plots best, growing the most bamboo while feeding the delicate appetite of the panda, will win the game.

This game is another Matagot eye candy special. The game components are stunning. The fun doesn't stop there. The game offers several interesting decisions and leaves a certain amount of success to luck. This is a simple game with enough meat to appeal to everyone.
Одна из самых приятных игр по компонентам, которые предлагает базовая коробка. Здесь и цветные миниатюры и бамбуквые сегменты из дерева и прекрасная цветовая гамма общего оформления и удобный органайзер. Всё вызывает восторг и желание прикоснуться, поиграть. Геймплей не сложный, местами слегка конфликтный, но без фанатизма. Победа требует стратегии и немного удачи. Если включить фоном спокойную азиатскую музыку, то партии обретут медитативный характер.
This is probably the one game in my collection I'd have a hard time saying no to playing. The theming is so delightful, and the mechanics are tight and strategic, while still allowing a bit of luck to keep things unpredictable. I love the little panda ❤️
Takenoko est un de mes jeux préférés. Il est beau, simple à comprendre mais profond, il plaira à toute la famille. Ce jeux doit entrer dans votre ludothèque, c’est déjà un classique. Un jeu qui a gagné l’as d’or en 2012, et c’est mérité ! Antoine Bauza nous a habitué à d’excellents jeux et celui ci en fait partie ! https://undecent.fr/2020/01/27/takenoko/
