Takenoko (Japanese: タケノコ, which means bamboo shoot in katakana) is a board game created by Antoine Bauza and published by Bombyx and Matagot in 2011.

Matagot also produced a Collector's Edition which features deluxe, over-sized pieces and game board.

On each turn, players can choose between a number of different actions; laying a new plot on the garden, taking an irrigation channel from the stock, moving the gardener, moving the panda, or drawing a new objective card.

However, there is also a die that determines the weather conditions for the round - sunny (pick three actions rather than two), rainy (choose a plot to grow more bamboo), storm (move the panda to any location), windy (can select same action twice) or cloudy (choose an improvement to place on a plot).

Cards have different point values, depending how difficult that particular objective is to complete (and sometimes the colours of plots or bamboo).
