Every year, the seven panda clans gather to celebrate their many years of peace and prosperity. After all the festivities, performances, and games, the Elders organize the annual competition where the bravest pandas come together to fight for honor and glory. Each panda clan has its own powers and abilities, and the Elders carefully balance these when forming teams with members from each clan. As one of the panda Elders, you will choose pandas from the seven clans (represented by seven dice colors) to join your team. Each clan contributes unique abilities to your team, so choose wisely to achieve the highest score over 10 rounds.
Designed by Nate Jenne and Jake Jenne, Panda Royale can be enjoyed in pairs or groups of up to 10 players, ages 8 and up, in sessions lasting 20 to 30 minutes. Throughout the game, players aim to accumulate the highest possible score over several rounds by rolling dice of different values. After totaling the scores of the 10 rounds, the player with the highest score wins.
In the first round, players roll only one die and record its value. In each subsequent round, they add a new die to their pool, until the final round, where everyone rolls 10 dice. Depending on their color, the dice have different abilities. For example, purple dice have eight sides and double their value, green dice have the most sides (20), and white dice allow trading dice with other players (without their consent).
Easy and intuitive to learn, Panda Royale challenges players to choose the right die each round to maximize their chances of scoring. However, luck is also a key factor, as every dice roll is unpredictable. Are you ready to lead your panda clan to victory?
