Thanks for the video, Beth. Great walkthrough.

Spotted this game on the Spiel-coverage here on BGG and immediately fell in love with the art style. And I'm glad the gameplay seems to be sound too.

Where did the matching colored bowls come from? Those didn't come with my copy.

Naw! Those bowls are mine! There are silicone condiment cups from Crate & Barrel, which they unfortunately don't sell anymore. But you can find some decent substitutes on Amazon or silicone muffin cups at Target, Joanns, Michaels, etc.

I loved the review, Beth. I will heading off to my game store here in Bangkok to see if they have a copy in stock. Having watched your review, I can see the similarities to Kingdom Builder. I love KB, and think my wife and I will love Takenoko, too.
