These two cards may go into the same garden or into separate gardens. Either way, you’ll only have three gardens for the entire game. And you’ll find the cards you place define the limits of your gardens. For the quality section of the Ohanami review, we award a very good 9 out of 10. This is a small box game. In board games, it is pretty true (with exceptions) that the smaller the box, the simpler and less intense it is. That is the case with these types of easy to the table games. With that said, just because you are not some intense thing, doesn’t mean you are not as high of quality. So, on one hand, you’ll be selecting cards based on their number to fit into your gardens. BUT, you’ll also choose cards to play based on how each color group scores.

To build a garden, paying close attention to the numbers on the cards is important. To play a card into a garden, that card must have a number higher than the highest number in the garden or lower than the lowest number in the garden. If it falls in between these two numbers it cannot be played into that garden, but it can create a different garden. Takenoko (Meaning bamboo shoot in Japanese) is a game about building a bamboo garden with the help of the resident giant panda, a gift from the Emperor of China.Unlike many of its international counterparts, the Japanese board game starts when you’re a toddler and features Elementary school, junior high school, and high school, mirroring the paths of many children in Japan. At the start of a round, each player receives a hand of ten cards. Each player chooses two cards, then passes the remaining cards to the left. All players reveal their cards at the same time, then decide whether to use 0, 1, or 2 of them in personal rows of cards. When you start a row, you can use any card; to add a card to an existing row, that card must be higher than the row's highest card or lower than the lowest one. A player can have at most three rows of cards. Discard any cards you don't use. This keeps the relatively in depth game constantly moving and keeps each player interested right from the outset.

For round three, players have ten more cards and pass cards to the left once again. At the end of this round, players once again score for their blue and green cards, while also receiving 7 points for each gray card in their rows. Additionally, each player scores for their pink cherry blossom cards, with these cards having a pyramidal scoring structure: one card = 1 point, two cards = 3, three cards = 6, etc. Whoever has the highest total score wins! Because your concern is with both the numbers on the cards and the types of landscape they represent, both the mathematical and aesthetic parts of your brain are involved in every decision. In a very simple way, this mimics why people enjoy zen gardens: engagement.

Horror Looks You Right Between the Eyes – Game End

Perk Cards are little bonuses that a player can use during the Hero Phase on any player’s turn and it doesn’t cost an action. These Cards often allow players to move more freely, move a Monster, or perform more actions. Each Monster has their own unique power that is activated when the ! is rolled. I’m not going to go into detail for each here, but in general, the power throws a big wrench in your game plan and can be pretty annoying. Your once quiet, quaint village has turned chaotic now that Monsters have moved in. Read our review of Horrified to find how to stop the monsters from terrorizing the village.
