   No entiendo por qué nos llegó una versión diferente a la publicada en las imágenes. Las mejoras son piezas redondas en vez de hexagonales y el arte es distinto. Las instrucciones de esta versión no son del todo claras, no se explica en qué momento se pueden agregar las mejoras a la zona de juego. Sólo explica cómo se consiguen. Tuvimos que buscar en linea cómo debían colocarse estas piezas sobre el juego una vez conseguidas. No sé si en la version de las fotos aparecen las instrucciones completas y posibles variantes, puesto que sí se quedan bastante cortas las que tenemos actualmente. Las piezas de bamboo son bastante susceptibles a caerse ya que no se equilibran bien unas sobre otras. Resalto que me gusta que se haya pensado en las personas con daltonismo o que no diferencian bien los colores. A veces se confunde un poco el amarillo con el rosa

   I absolutely love games that draw me in from the moment I lay eyes on the box, yes I admit it, I’m a sucker for great looking boxes. Better yet is when the same great art and visuals carry through to the game once it’s set up on your table. Takenoko continues to deliver that same whimsical, pastel colored are style straight to the table and all the way through to the end. This game is an absolute gem and easily pleases many types of gamers, it also is easy to teach and learn so new players need not be left out of having a great experience with this one. As mentioned before the box will draw the eyes of new gamers in your Group or possibly those who aren’t as familiar with board games, and thus Takenoko excels at being a wonderful introductory game for them. There is a great feeling of playing a competitive game with everyone without any of the stress of games with more conflict; everything is very calm and relaxed as players take their actions. Even when someone moves the Panda to eat the bamboo you’ve been growing for three turns, it’s all very fun and forgiving. Who could ever get mad at that hungry little cutey happily munching away at all your hard work? The limited confrontation that is introduced with his mechanic of you choosing to grow bamboo while another player might be choosing to eat bamboo is good friendly fun. Besides, you better believe that afterwards you’ll be trying to fulfill your own Panda objective and get them back on your next turn. This game plays very quickly but still delivers a decent amount of planning and tactics that you can experiment with. I find it a very rewarding game with its charm and beauty being forefront among its qualities. The random element of the die roll at the beginning of your turn can add some additional variety and change to each of your turns, but a lot of your game choices will be a bit of give and take with the other players. It’s almost cooperative at times in that some of your actions might secretly be benefiting your opponents and vice versa, again coming back to how simple and relaxed game play is. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone, this plays wonderfully at 2 players and above and is quite kid friendly. You’ll have no trouble teaching this to anyone and be playing full games in less than 10 minutes or so, most players can even pick up and learn the game just by having experienced players go first. Takenoko may be too light of a game for someone looking for advanced strategy and wanting lots of confrontation and optimization. This game will however be perfect for anyone just wanting to play and explore a lovely bamboo garden, find joy in placing stacking those great pieces higher and higher, or anyone who just saw the Panda and knows they can pop it around the board and gobble up points. This is a winner in our home, and a game that we’ll come back to for a long time; we hope you enjoy it as well!
