Настольная игра Такеноко

A long time ago at the court of the Japanese Emperor... After lengthy negotiations, diplomatic relations between Japan and China finally improved. To properly cement this alliance, the Chinese Emperor gifted his Japanese counterpart a sacred animal, a large panda,... which is a symbol of peace. The Japanese Emperor tasked his courtiers (i.e., the players) with a complex mission: to cultivate a bamboo garden to care for the animal. With the help of the Imperial gardener, players will work the land and grow one of three types of bamboo (Green, Yellow, and Pink). They will strive to satisfy the hunger of the insatiable sacred animal, craving juicy and tender bamboo...The player who grows the most bamboo, manages their land parcels best, and feeds the fussy panda will win the game.

Number of players: 2–4.
