At the Imperial Court of Japan, a long time ago... After long quarrels, relations between China and Japan are finally in good shape. To celebrate this agreement, the Chinese emperor offered his Japanese counterpart a sacred animal, a large Chinese panda, symbol of peace. The Japanese emperor entrusted the players, his courtiers, with the delicate task of caring for the animal by setting up a bamboo grove for it.
The players will cultivate plots of land, irrigate them and grow one of the three varieties of bamboo (green, yellow and pink) through the gardener. They will have to deal with the sacred animal and its immoderate taste for crisp stems and tender leaves... The player who will grow the most bamboo by managing his plots and satisfying the panda's delicate appetite will win the game.
Since its release November 2011, Takenoko has won numerous awards and has been particularly well received by players. Even if the game started a little while ago, you can still have a good time playing it, below the reward obtained by the game : 2012 (As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année).
