Just a couple rule clarifications: It wasn't mentioned that Miss Panda is placed in the game when the first expansion tile is placed and she automatically moves whenever another expansion tile is placed to that tile. The tile doesn't matter when creating a baby panda, it can even be the pond. You can discard any color bamboo, but you get a baby that matches that color. Last, when the Gardener stops on the Kamis Garden, all three colors grow on the tile and on adjacent plots, you don't pick just one unless it's the rain weather effect or the panda eating bamboo.
Well if Zee likes it, that's a solid sell for me and my family! Thanks for the review, it seems our preferences for games line up so you have quickly become one of my go to reviewers! Keep up the good work :-D
This tiny expansion costs more than the base game, are they kidding?. Looks like it also makes the cards imbalance even worse. 3 points for panda card that can be easily scored in 2 moves (even one if you're lucky with the die roll) vs. 3 points for the land card that takes at least 3 turns to build and lots of luck with drawing land tiles and other players not interfering. Really..
Until they come out with a "Colorblind Friendly" expansion, they've gotten all the money out of me they're going to. For some games the color palate is a nuisance, but this is completely unplayable for several members of my family. Pale pink, yellow, and green is about the worst possible combination they could have possibly chosen.
Wasn't impressed, myself, at the price point. And the extra cards are so hard to accomplish while the victory points are so low, especially for the bamboo growth. All together, this is has to be the only video from Dice Tower I really haven't agreed with.
IMHO they really missed an opportunity to make cute baby panda figurines! (Seriously, how cute would that be?) - E

$30.00 msrp for such a small expansion seems pricey for what you get. Nice that it's so solid though.

Did the faded backs to the location tiles bug you at all?
+Luke Hector (Broken Meeple) I wanted to know more about this back side problem as well
Mine don't appear faded...maybe it depends on which printing of the base game you have
Once again, Antoine Bauza knocks it out of the park. Another item to add to my ever expanding wish list.

Great to see all the contents. My kids were drooling over the contents. Definitely adding this to revitalise takenoko

Land objectives can be achieved accidentally though, whereas panda objectives have to be achieved through your own actions.

Isn't the base game colour blind friendly? The one I have has symbols for the different colours
Seems easy to fix with a sharpie. Just draw a symbol of your choice on the card.
So many errors in the explanation of the rules! Great expansion, though. Adds so much to the game.

Good that the female panda was pink so we understand it is a woman.:)
