The players take the role of courtesans of the Nippon emperor & of the caring for his Giant Panda by growing a bamboo plantation.
Description:
The players take the role of courtesans of the Nippon emperor and of the caring for his Giant Panda by growing a bamboo plantation. Their mission: to farm and irrigate parcels of land, and grow green, yellow or pink bamboo. In turn, they see what the weather brings and perform two actions from those offered to them: get a new plot of land or irrigation channel, grow bamboo, feed the panda or draw an objective card. The game ends when a player has completed 7-9 objectives. The player who gets the best score by adding the total value of their completed objective wins the game. This is a Learn to Play event. We are looking forward to seeing you at our event!
