A long time ago, the Emperor of China gifted the Emperor of Japan a Grand Panda, a symbol of peace. Your delicate mission is to care for the animal by creating a bamboo grove. You will cultivate plots of land, irrigate them, and grow bamboo. But beware of the sacred animal and its insatiable appetite for crunchy bamboo shoots...
The player who grows the most bamboo by managing their plots effectively and satisfying the panda's delicate appetite will win the game.
Gameplay
As a gardener in the service of the Emperor, your delicate mission is to ensure the well-being of the animal by creating a bamboo grove. But beware, the panda is greedy, and your task will be challenging!
To fully complete your mission and earn the Emperor's favor, you will need to cultivate plots of land, irrigate them, and grow bamboo. Each player will choose from various actions while following the Emperor's wishes, symbolized by the objective cards.
The objectives are varied. For example, you might need to plant plots in a specific arrangement, grow enough bamboo of one or more types, or ensure the panda’s meal consists of a certain number of bamboo sections in precise colors.
Additionally, you must keep an eye on the panda, the tenant of the imperial gardens, who is always thinking about food. The weather will also play a significant role in your progress. Represented by a die, the effects of the weather (sun, rain, wind, lightning, and clouds) are diverse and varied, but they will always give you a little boost.
Once a player achieves a set number of objectives, depending on the number of players, the end of the game is triggered.
One more round is played, and the player with the most points from their objective cards and bonuses is declared the grand winner.
