ASMTAK01EN-2
£31.00
Played this with my boys (10 and 12). Took one game and a you tube video to learn, but then the gameplay leads to some very different games. The turns don't take too long and the game moves on well.
Good all round game with strategy, integration and some luck.
We love it.
This game is a great gateway game to give new players to the boardgaming-sphere a fun and gentle introduction.
The nature of the scoring system means it's anyone's race, right up to the finish.
This is an aesthetically pleasing intro game with a cute theme and light theme. The rules and set up are quick and easy to understand and you’re playing very quickly!!
I play this with my kids (8&7) and wife who isn’t a gamer, and it fills 45minutes with fun.
Great theme, light on conflict and some good recommendations for in-house rules to make it easier/more challenging.
An easy-to-learn game that is fun to play and is aesthetically pleasing.
Takenoko won't be everyone's cup of tea. If you enjoy games that are gentle, beautifully illustrated & tactile, and less competitive than most, this would be perfect for you. If you're after something with more energy, competition or strategy then perhaps give it a miss.
One of the main drawbacks for us is the points mechanism isn't very well balanced leading to some incentive structures that we feel detracts from game play. However these are easy enough to adjust if you're so inclined (for example, we've increased the point value on tile placement objectives).
Overall, we enjoy playing it as it provides a nice balance to the other games in our collection and is really gorgeously manufactured! I'd give it 3,5 stars.
