Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
– Object of the game : Empty your hand of cards and collect as many bamboo as possible. The game ends when a player reaches at least 15 bamboo points ; whoever has the most wins.
– Setup : A special deck of “double-headed” cards is used. They start with the orange animal at the top. Each player receives 12 cards , the rest of which form the draw pile.
– Trick : The first player opens with a set of their choice ( single, pair, three of a kind, straight, or special formation ), excluding the bomb (4+ cards of the same type). The others must play a higher set of the same type or pass. A bomb can always be played. Some element cards have special effects (such as instant victory or bamboo gain).
– Flip and discard : When you pass, if the cards you played still show the orange animal , you flip them to their blue side and change their value with possible bonuses (e.g., gaining or stealing bamboo). If there are already blue cards, you discard them all. The winner of the trick discards their cards and starts the new round.
– End of round : Whoever goes out first receives bamboo equal to the number of cards remaining of the player with the largest hand. The round ends when only one player has cards left. Then the cards are shuffled and re-dealt. At the end, the player with the most bamboo above 15 points is declared the winner.

Panda Spin
Under that cuddly fur hides a tactical genius hungry for victory.
An acrobatic card game, where pandas think faster than you.
Panda Spin – Play, Flip and Snatch Bamboo
A deck of cards stacked head-to-head. A pack of hungry pandas. And your desire to be the smartest at the table. In Panda Spin, it's not enough to just move up in value or have the right combo: you have to know when to fold, when to fold, and when to scratch .
Every hand is a race to empty your hand first and earn as many bamboo as possible. But beware: every card you play could backfire... or become a sensational move. Reversals, elements, bombs, and bamboo thieves: a frenetic dance that rewards intuition over aggression.
An unconventional climbing game with double-sided, soul-changing cards.
Panda Spin is a fast-paced, strategic board game , perfect for 2–5 players and ideal for family evenings or challenges between friends.
The heart of the game is the climbing mechanic with a twist: cards have two sides , and you can flip them to change their value, power, and effect. The deck includes special elements like Water, Fire, Panda, and Bamboo, each with unique abilities that can change the turn.
Play three of a kind, straights, consecutive pairs, or devastating sets, and watch the table transform with every move. The more cards you turn over, the more advantage you gain… but only if you know when to do it.
With games lasting 25 to 40 minutes and a very high replay value, Panda Spin is an intelligent filler , never banal and surprisingly technical.
Little strokes of genius 🧠🎋
The move that surprises everyone? Card flipping , which isn't just a visual gimmick but a double-edged strategy . Flipping allows you to transform a simple card into an explosive combo, often earning bamboo or stealing it from others.
And then there's Fire: a wildcard of chosen power , capable of breaking the rules at the right moment.
A small masterpiece of tactical design , perfect for those who love games that can be read between the lines... or rather, between the faces.
