Learn The Way Of The Panda In New CMON Board Game

May 9, 2018 by brennon

CMON has shown off more for one of their newest games, Way Of The Panda. We were able to actually check out this game at Gen Con and it was a lot of fun and I'm sure Dawn & Gianna will be able to check out more about the game at CMON Expo this weekend.

The game is focused around you taking on the role of one of the mighty Panda Clans and defeating nefarious ninjas which have invaded your lands. You will be moving around the board, defeating ninjas, and when the pathways are safe you can then begin to build mighty structures which give you additional bonuses and victory points.

Those familiar with games like Caverna will notice the board to the bottom of the image above. This is where the real game plays out here as you use Worker Placement mechanics to choose the actions which are going to benefit you most. As you play and tailor your faction towards your favourite style of play you will be able to make your 'game engine' more efficient.

The game, whilst heavily focused towards Euro mechanics, also comes with some wonderful looking miniatures. I don't think you'd expect anything less from a CMON, to be honest.

It's worth heading over to the game page linked above and giving the rulebook for this game a look as it is a lot of fun. It's not too heavy either so you should be able to get this introduced to a gaming group very easily.

Have you had a go at this game?
