How to Play Takenoko

[@StripesZB]

This is a really good rule explanation, but you have to make sure that you don't contradict yourself when showing examples. At 1:59 you place a tile next to a single other plot when that move is illegal. You also show a panda movement going diagonally at 2:47, when he's only allowed to move in a "straight line", perpendicularly across plot edges. Otherwise, this is a great. Well structured, clear and quick.

[@angelarobinson1555]

also the poor panda she put on a no eating!

[@BillySpenc]

loooool loves the Rage with the tallest person starts the game XD

[@sogwatchman]

I'm confused you said the plot tiles had to be placed next to the starting tile or adjacent to any two plot tiles but at 2:00 you placed it next to one plot tile... Did I misunderstand the previous instructions?

[@CrossoXoHair]

Do a she says not as she does:p

[@REPTILE89x]

Love your videos but too many mistakes in this video. Plot tile was placed incorrectly, gardener moved and grew bamboo on a Non-irrigated plot tile, and then the panda moved incorrectly. Please make the corrections and reupload because I love to show these videos to friends when I show them wonderful new games :)

[@Thermalions]

This video is just going to confuse people new to the game. and since when are pandas mythical creatures?

[@299436083]

The mythical creatures part was obviously a joke also the panda didn't move incorrectly

[@VeraPossumus]

Panda was also eating from no-eating allowed plots

[@pct87]

I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile now, excited to see u guys play this.

[@Myrilia]

We really love this game! We play with my parents, with friends. I recommend it to everyone 👍

[@David__U]

Don't use this video to try to learn the rules. This video is really poorly done. For example at 2:44 the Panda action is explained but the video shows _three_ rules being broken! -- The panda is *not* moved in a straight line as required AND it eats from a tile with the 'Enclosure' symbol AND it eats two pieces of bamboo instead of just one. Use the KZbin channel " _Watch_ _It_ _Played_ " instead to learn the rules of this and other games.

[@nicktsnv3235]

I’m pretty sure this was done spontaneously just to give an example of moving the panda around it’s not really anything too significant considering the pandas mechanic was verbally explained correctly. Also the watch it played video is too long and has too much detail to remember so I would not consider it good for a newcomer to the game. Shaving off 20 minutes and still sufficiently explaining the game makes this particular video the best if you want to get quick to the point and learning how to play the game.

[@nicktsnv3235]

also, the on-screen edits with images and text makes it a lot easier to understand and memorize the explanations.

[@kevinfilor7602]

Great job buddy you know the rules now after watching this video, quit tripping there wasn’t any bamboo next to the plot he was at It tells you everything you need to know in five minutes that’s about as good as it gets (the rule book only says he and not she ig that means girls can’t play huh?)

[@chihabgoku]

Did anyone else notice how the bamboo section weirdly moved on its own at 2:45?

[@IsakIzzy]

chihabgoku she’s a jedi

[@mohammadhosseintat6842]

What the hell🤯🤯🤯

[@cabbycabby1770]

They are called magnets where I’m from.

[@captainawesome8632]

I don’t understand the ending. Say it’s a game between A and B. A is taller so has gone first, B gets to 9 first so takes the emperor card. Does the turn they took the card between become the last round? Would A take a final turn, or would A take their last turn and then B takes their last turn?

[@chrischesteraguilar976]

A would take ANOTHER last turn and the game ends

[@jarihanhela2951]

2:48 illegal movement?

[@299436083]

Nope can move in a straight line any number of plots away

[@299436083]

Nope the panda may move in a straight line any number of plots away

[@jarihanhela2951]

@@299436083 But that wasn't a straight line 🤔

[@299436083]

Well I guess after watching people actually play it I think you are right at first I thought it was he can move unlimited as long as each move is straight but I also thought maybe the line in between the two plots like the edge of the plots might also count as making it a straight line but no it looks like it is referring to a straight line as in the panda would move onto directly connected plots in a straight line

[@Chris-yl7lz]

Yes, illegal move

[@chrischesteraguilar976]

you said it can be irrigated if a border of that tile have atleast 1 irrigation channel but in 2:38 the last placed yellow tile does not have atleast one irrigation channel in its border but i can see you placed a bamboo on that tile so is it irrigated? EDIT: love it when you raged at 0:51

[@tealcandtrip]

The stated rules are correct, but the demonstrations are very wrong. She doesn't show the gardener growing on the additional irrigated yellow tile to the right. On the second move of the gardener, only the original tile should have grown, not the unirrigated plot she placed it on. So both the middle and right tile should have two bamboo and the left should have none. She literally got all three wrong, and then moves the panda in a non-straight line and feeds the panda from a no-panda tile. He can't land there, he can't eat there at all, and he certainly can't eat both sections.

[@EccOMyth]

This is normal for this show sadly. Almost all episodes i have watched have big mistakes in them involving the rules.

[@iMarc89]

So what you're saying is, Wheaton did it better...

[@PrinceGastronome]

Yes. The number of mistakes made on this show annoys me.

[@ezamal89]

Wheaton is the worst, and just writes the errors off as house rules. Becca Scott is the best.

[@iMarc89]

@@ezamal89 Strange, I've never seen him write off any errors as house rules. In fact, in Tabletop if they made errors, they ran a very prominent correction at the bottom of the screen explaining what the rule actually is.

[@corradogiorgetti9371]

can I interfere other players' games, eating their bamboo?

[@chocklad9]

yes, there's no such a thing as mine or yours there heh

[@viper3579]

Which "Little House on the Prairie" costume sale did Becca find that dress at?

[@Ektalon]

ikr? I was all "Why is the school marm teaching us to grow bamboo?"

[@quibily]

This look is popular in China. I figured that’s why she chose the dress. Also kiiiinda similar to the “Lolita look” that is popular in Japan.

[@sharpzin]

Tabletop with Will Wheaton is over? Remember I bought that bg seeing tabletop.

[@fungunfanatic]

"We harvestin grasses and feedin them asses" Is what it should have been. :P

[@CrashSable]

Great! Now play Sparkle Kitty on Game the Game.

[@beartheboyo5455]

AMAZINGG THANKSS!!! :3

[@Finvaara]

So, wait, I keep seeing the panda moved to eat bamboo on the pink tile where I'm pretty sure the panda can't eat bamboo.

[@tealcandtrip]

Yeah, she also grows bamboo on an unirrigated tile right before she says that you can't do that.

[@299436083]

You are right that one has an enclosure on it however I think it's just a bad demonstration with a good explanation

[@haloboy20102010gaming]

I see pandas and I click

[@BlimpMcGee]

That's a cute outfit

[@MarcN11]

Tabletop did it.

[@StoneUSA]

Concise, but... concise. Too quick and doesn't address the nuance of the game. Guess KZbin recommended the wrong channel.

[@writofmandamus]

Wow cute dress!

Me and my sister love playing Takenoko 💖

[@Zanvulf]

Panda bears are real!!!!

[@veryprettyperson5826]

Tallest player? let me play with my younger siblings

[@weibashu1987]

So cute … I mean game…

[@sintwelve]

I love you.

[@Hirudin]

Bwahaha! Tallest‽ That IS some FBS!

[@MalavShah247]

4:35 pandas are mythical creatures... Seriously!!!

[@khyejianlaw8146]

This feels similar too Catan

[@erwinjasonlim9395]

Aint pandas real?

[@eggegg8181]

No they’re a myth...

[@kuurocks]

I like this video but I miss Wil :(

[@liquidmaster2108]

Mr Will Wheaton did a much better job on Table Top, instead of rehashing his work, just give the man another season of Table Top, we love him!!

[@KenzieDamagePersonal]

Seems like Legendary gave Wil reasons to feel unwelcome, I don't think we'll ever see Tabletop or Titansgrave return to G&S. Maybe the Critical Role folks can bring him over to their new channel, it might be a better fit for him. Legendary, if you won't or can't work with Wil on making his shows, maybe show some good faith and allow Wil to take the IP that he developed for Tabletop and Titansgrave elsewhere.

[@Endeva09]

This channel is great but this video is awful, its jam packed with mistakes and is just going to confuse people and cause people to play incorrectly.

[@keirahernandez6632]

Was she serious when she said she wishes pandas where real? No right?🤔

[@levi5930]

I think it’s because they’re endangered as a species and may not be around in our kid’s futures

[@FuriousHellcat]

:)

[@thanosgattos5783]

Just want to mention that pandas are not "mythical creatures" at all. They're very real and are one of many endangered species. Haven't played the game yet but it seems fun.

[@299436083]

She meant it as a joke at least I'm hoping and that's what it sounds like because she said "right?" At the end of it

[@bobbihernandez1811]

Pandas are not mythical creatures....

[@БериллийБериллий]

I bought this game, but I did not understand nothing...

[@shobhitagrawal7566]

Wait panda is not mythical , it’s a real creature 🤦🏻

[@punkseth1]

this game isn't that good actually

[@sandythemaster6898]

It's the only game I shown to both gamers and non gamers and that everybody loved. Well, that and Dominion.

[@eggegg8181]

Why don’t you like the game?

[@JunkAccumulator]

Gimmee that sweet, sweet cringe!
