Takenoko Board Game Review
Featuring Chibis Expansion

Takenoko is a modular board game where players take on the role of the Japanese Emperor's Court Members who have been assigned to look after his royal garden.

The Emperor recently acquired a gift from the Chinese Emperor, a panda. Players will work on a common garden where they will cultivate plots of land, irrigate them, grow bamboo to the gardener's satisfaction and also keep the panda happy by feeding him.

Players will complete a series of hidden objectives involving irrigating plots of land in particular patterns and orientations, growing bamboo shoots to a certain height or simply feeding the panda different coloured bamboo.

Players will be competing against each other to gain the Emperor's favour however they will unknowingly be helping the other players to to reach their secret objectives. The player to completes the required number of objectives first will gain the emperor's favour and trigger the final round. The player with the most VP at the end of the game will win!

The Chibis Expansion introduces new objective cards, plot tiles, a female panda and panda babies!

Takenoko is the perfect family game or as a gateway game for people entering the board game hobby for the first time. It is light on strategy but it is a visual feast for the eyes.

The Board Game Sanctuary is a family friendly board game channel that aims to introduce the board gaming hobby to new and seasoned players in a light, fun and humourous way.
