The bonus rules we use for Takenoko to make it more fun and harder to cheese panda cards to win are. Panda can't eat the last shoot on a tile, you can't claim a 2nd objective card for your hand until you have 1 of each other type, and can't claim a 3rd unless you have 2 of each other type. And scoring 1 of each objective type gives 3xp more.

The last time i played Takenoko without these rules was at an event where each game was scored, i did the food strategy and it was a horribly one sided win for me.

One of my family’s favorites. My wife and I even had custom Mr & Mrs Panda statues made as cake toppers for our wedding!

“This one scares panda…and he eats a bamboo to calm down.” Sounds like me and panda have some things in common. Thanks for the video. I have been pondering this one for a while…

Tokaido used to be a big favorite for me and my kids - towards the more complex end of games they were willing to play

Panda's tummy contents? That gives the act of scoring panda objectives a whole new meaning.

(Panda fertilizer!)

I am picking up this game tomorrow just based on the art. It looks so adorable!

Okay from the sounds of it this would have been super easy to solo a bit too between the limited number of actions and the objectives to complete

I saw Shelfside’s review on this & they said that you can play this competitively, like when you memorize the cards & you are trying to prevent other players from scoring or something. Do you think it’s possible?

Thanks for the video. Not my style of game, sure it would work for someone else.

Fun Fact: you actually pronounce it like Ta-Ke-No-Ko at the same pace, not Ta-Ke-Noo Ko.
