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.

This dexterity game is GREAT for families, friends and even children!  Imperial Publishing isn't new to board games, in fact we have already run 4 prior successful Kickstarter projects and this second game of ours promises to be our best one yet! 

Welcome to the world of Bamboo Bash!  We all love pandas but boy do they love to eat!  As Panda conservationists we are all trying to carefully remove that yummy bark and even yummier leaves from the bamboo without destroying the tree OR upsetting the baby panda on top!  Each player takes a turn whacking at the tree to remove the outer (edible) layers for points, but take care, if a player knocks off the inner cores or causes the panda atop the tree to fall, negative points will be incurred!  

Yes this game comes with a PANDA mini figure!

This game takes the fun elements of jenga and incorporates them into every turn!  Rather than one "ahhh" moment at the end of jenga where everything comes tumbling down, each turn is filled with that crashing down, but for points (hopefully most of them positive).  This cute, hilarious and deceptively simple game can quickly be enjoyed by kids and parents alike, but with more advanced strategy rules, this game is great as a gateway into today's modern board gaming world.  This casual game plays in  15 minutes or less and is worth repeating!

Behind the scenes interview with our owner about Bamboo Bash from Tantrum Games, click HERE.

 

Many game enthusiasts will rightly notice the similarities between this game and Click Clack Lumberjack (CCL).  This game was inspired in many ways by that game and  is considered the "spiritual successor" to CCL.  While the rules and theme are different, it certainly was an influencer to this game's development.  We are in no way trying to take away from the merit of that game and actually Mayday Games, which distributed Click Clack for years in the USA is also owned by Seth, the founder of Imperial Publishing.  We are sister-companies and work hand-in-hand on many tasks.  This game features all new components, artwork and rules and in no way meant to take away from the legacy of Click Clack Lumberjack.  

Seth & Kate visiting a famous garden in China...

Seth started Imperial Publishing in 2018 and has lived in China for most of the last 10 years.  He and his wife and Kate (兰英) now split time between the USA and China.  The Panda/Bamboo theme has always been something we wanted to implement in a game due to this connection with China.  We hope you appreciate how well the game mechanics meshes with the theme.   The bamboo theme was something Seth had the idea for while visiting a bamboo forest.  Here is video from that actual date:



Sleeve Kings Sleeves FAQ

These FAQs can guide your decision on purchasing a set of our quality card sleeves.

What is the purpose of card sleeves? 

Card sleeves protect your cards from everyday wear and tear and accidental spills. Card sleeves can also protect your cards from environmental damage caused by sunlight and moisture.

Card sleeves support easy handling as well. If your cards are thin and flimsy, sleeves make shuffling easier. Sleeves also help distinguish your cards from everyone else's.

Do sleeves scratch cards? 

Card sleeves do not scratch cards if you follow instructions and confirm that small particles are not trapped in the sleeve prior to insertion.

How important is double sleeving? 

Double sleeving is not necessary but is highly recommended to provide extra protection against accidental spills.

How do you properly sleeve cards? 

First, inspect your card sleeves for any dust or dirt. Remove particles as necessary. Next, hold your card sleeve between your thumb and index finger and gently slide the back and front sides together to form a small pocket. Slide your card into the pocket and push down until your card is fully covered.

How do you flatten sleeves on cards? 

To prevent bubbling, select a sleeve that is very close to your card's exact size. To flatten your sleeved cards, weigh them down on a warm surface with several heavy books.

What are the best strategy board games for adults? 

While there are 100s of strategy board games for adults, some of the best ones include:

  • Settlers of Catan
  • Risk
  • Dominion
  • Pandemic
  • Terraforming Mars
  • Splendor
  • Gloomhaven

These games include cards that should be protected to ensure that they last for a long time.

What games do adults like to play?

Popular adult games are typically easy to learn but challenging to win. Playtime can range from 30 minutes to three hours. Longer games are usually enjoyed by board game enthusiasts. Most of these games feature playing cards that should be sleeved.

Combined Shipping

If you aren't aware, Swan Panasia shares a warehouse in Utah, USA with both MaydayGames.com and SwanPanasiaSleeves.com.  If you want to order some Sleeve Kings products along with products from either of those websites we can easily combine the orders and refund you any shipping across any of these three sites.  Please just put in your orders from the same email account and be sure they are both shipping to the same address, then email to support@sleevekings.com with the email subject of "Combined Shipping".  Tell us the two order numbers and Curt will combine the two orders in our shipping software and refund you back the difference.  Note that sometimes our warehouse is TOO efficient and ships out before we can get the word to combine orders, but if that happens Curt will still refund your shipping.    

WAREHOUSE PICKUP

If you are in Utah and want to pick up your order from us, go ahead and check out on your order and email support@sleevekings.com to let us know you would like to pick up your order.  We can arrange for that and refund your shipping when you pick up at our warehouse at 380 West 700 South Ste #3  Springville UT 84663.  We are generally there M-F from about 10 to 4.

    Map Policy:

    Yes we have a MAP POLICY and you can read it HERE. In a nutshell we do NOT allow stores/distributors to sell any of our products online, especially not on Amazon's marketplace.

    EU & UK Orders:

    If you are in the UK or EU and want to purchase card sleeves we cannot sell to you from this website.  Doing so would require us to remit VAT taxes to all EU countries and the UK and it just isn't practical for us to do that.  Instead you can order from maydaygames.eu and we will ship directly from our partner warehouse in Greece.  Note that maydaygames.eu carries all Sleeve Kings sleeves as well as Mayday card sleeves.  Please do not try to check out on any shipments to the EU or the UK from our website as we will only have to refund you for the order and ask you to order from our EU website.
