Bamboo Bash 2-8 Player Panda Dexterity Game

This all-new dexterity game is GREAT for families and friends

GAMEPLAY IN BRIEF
Take turns hitting the Bamboo Shoot with the Panda Paw, trying to cause only Bark to fall off. When the Bamboo Shoot has just a few pieces left, the game ends and you score points for Bark, lose points points for Centers, and maybe get some bonus points for Bark with leaves - as long as you didn’t disturb the Cub!
 

GAMEPLAY IN DETAIL
The player with the Panda Paw takes the first turn, then play proceeds clockwise around the table. On your turn, you must hit the Bamboo Shoot in the center of the table with the Panda Paw.

• You may hit it with any part of the Panda Paw or its handle.
• You may hit any part of the Bamboo Shoot – the base, Bark, or Center.
• You might swing the Paw to strike the side of the Shoot firmly, or tap it gently.
• You can not touch any part of the Shoot with anything other than the Panda Paw at
any point during the game.

If a Bamboo Bark, Stem Center, or the Panda Cub fall off the Shoot onto the table, you claim those pieces by putting them in front of yourself. Then your turn ends immediately and you must pass the Panda Paw to the player on your left, who will take the next turn.
If nothing fell off the Bamboo Shoot, you may hit it a second time. As before, if anything falls off, you claim it and your turn ends. If nothing falls off, you may hit it a third and final time, claiming anything that falls off. After striking it 3 times, your turn ends whether or not you claimed anything – pass the Panda Paw to the player on your left.

GAME END
If at any point there are 2 or fewer Stem Center discs left on the Stem base, OR there
are no more Bamboo Bark chunks remaining that can be claimed, the game ends and you proceed immediately to Final Scoring.

FINAL SCORING
When the game ends, you score 1 point for each Bamboo Bark chunk you claimed. For each Stem Center you claimed, you lose 6 points. Then, each player that DID NOT knock the Panda Cub off the Bamboo Shoot counts up the number of Bamboo Bark chunks they claimed with leaves depicted on them. The player (or players) with the most chunks depicting leaves scores an additional 4 points. Then, the player with the most total points is declared the winner! Note: If there is the tie, the tied player who was later in turn order wins. This means the player who took the first turn of the game will never win ties.
