What is Takenoko

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.

+ Excelente gateaway. + Buenas mecánicas. + Excelentes componentes. + Inserto sumamente útil. + Permite varias formas de estrategia. + Coherencia temática-mecánica. - La suerte puede influir en los objetivos a cumplir. - La regla de término de juego entrega turnos extra a algunos jugadores.

Bastante dinamico, fácil de entender y a las chicas les gusta mucho el "juego del panda".

Juego sencillote para sacar a la chavalada y nuevos jugadores. Para los jugones creo que se puede quedar un poco corto.

Colección de Ángel. Le tengo cariño por todo lo que jugamos en pandemia y después, en especial con Ángel. No mola que mucha gente tire a la estrategia de comer bambú a tope y no sé sienten igual de faciles unos objetivos que otros, sobre todo cuando también los complicados son más fáciles de fastidiar. Aún así no diría nunca que no a una partida de tranquis.

En este juego hay un oso panda que come bambú, un jardinero que se ocupa de que el bambú crezca y varios jugadores que tienen que escoger acciones en su turno (añadir losetas, coger regadíos, mover al jardinero, al panda para comer u obtener un objetivo). La partida finaliza cuando algún jugador alcanda el último objetivo (de 7 a 9 según el número de jugadores). El resto todavía tiene un turno para jugar y gana el que más puntos consigue con sus cartas de objetivos. Es sencillo, pero resultón.
