HOW TO PLAY
Your mission: to farm and irrigate parcels of land growing bamboo. If you wind up with the highest amount of points at the end of the game then you will be the winner. Each turn you'll have to keep an eye on the weather to see what it brings. How quickly can you grow bamboo across your plantation and can you do it before the hungry panda eats whatever he can? You're on a mission to cultivate land plots, water them and grow green, yellow and pink bamboo. The objective is to grow and care for the emperor's bamboo garden and score points by growing bamboo and fulfilling objectives.

Players start with plots of land, a gardener and a panda. Players take turns performing actions such as planting bamboo, moving the gardener and panda, and watering the bamboo. Points are scored by growing bamboo and fulfilling objectives, such as creating specific patterns of bamboo or feeding the panda certain types of bamboo. The game ends when the deck of objectives is depleted or one player has reached a certain number of points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
