An excellent implementation of an excellent board game on a really innovative system! There are a few bugs, but other reviews have highlighted them already. Playing this version of Takenoko versus the real life board game is a step up, especially when playing with friends who forget some of the minutiae when playing games. It is also useful for highlighting moves you may not have considered, something you don't really get in a real board game.

About This Game

Can you satisfy the adorable oversized bamboo eating machine that is the sacred panda?
Watch the gardens come to holographic life in Takenoko: Tilt Five AR! Experience the plots rise and fall around the board, the water flow from the pond, and the weather rumble and rain directly in front of your very eyes.
Adapted from the acclaimed board game, Takenoko, by Antoine Bauza, the Tilt Five version will satiate players who are hungry for a new and exciting way to play this classic.
*Actual gameplay recorded with MixCast mixed-reality streaming software
Plant, irrigate, and grow bamboo to compete for the complicated task of caring for the Japanese Emperor's sacred–and greedy– panda. Only the gardener with the very best plots of bamboo will be able to appease the voracious appetite of this picky animal.
Plant a bamboo forest around the Emperor’s pond. Cultivate and irrigate your plots to grow all the types of bamboo the panda loves.
To beat your rival gardeners, make improvements to your plots: build irrigation channels or add fertilizer to accelerate the growth of your bamboo… and pray that the weather is favorable!
The player who completes the most objectives wins the game. Only one gardener can win the Emperor’s favor… So grab a rake!
*Takenoko: Tilt Five AR requires a Tilt Five system. See system requirements for more information.
