Takenokolor
In Takenokolor, you make your debut as a gardener. You must develop your bamboo grove, create watering places, and attract fish and ladybugs to make your garden a little piece of paradise resplendent with color.
Each turn, one player throws four pencils — green, yellow, pink, and blue — then chooses one. The other players choose one of the remaining pencils in turn, then all players simultaneously color on their sheet, one bamboo section corresponding to the same color and to the same symbol as the pencil ring they chose: circle, square, or triangle.
Who will finish their bamboo grove first? Who will be the best gardener?
