Was it fun?
Yes it was fun, wasn’t the most fun I’ve had playing a game but it was pretty
What were the player interactions?
One of the player interactions was when we were using tokens to make sure we remembered the last move we made.
How long did it take to learn?
In all honesty it took a really long time for us to realize that we were playing the game wrong, which is totally okay but the directions weren’t very clear.
Would you play it again?
No personally, it wasn’t my favorite
Analyze the game using the 3 act structure.
The first structure was very nicely laid out with a fun little comic explaining the games storyline and setting
The second structure was us continuously learning about what certain weather options did to continue the game and build onto it.
The ending was when one person won the Emperor card with the most points
What are the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?
It honestly didn’t feel like either, until it came down to taking other peoples chances to finish their objectives so you could finish yours
What is the game’s metaphor and which of the game’s mechanics standout?
I believe the games metaphor would be about the Panda eating a lot of bamboo, which would be us “eating” points and building up our scores
To be honest, I have never enjoyed this game. My opinion is probably very biased tho. I can’t remember what class this was for, but maybe you do. We were given game instructions in a different language, and we had to figure out how to play the game. My group had this game and after that experience I can’t even think of playing this game.
I loved the Panda eating all the bamboo! I agree that it wasn’t the best game, but I still enjoyed it!
I’m going to be completely honest; this game sounds boring. I’d be willing to give it a shot though…At least it has a storyline.
