Panda Spin*
Panda Spin is a climbing/shedding game with a special deck of “double-headed” cards: all cards start showing the orange animals on top. The goal is to be the first to empty your hand while collecting bamboo to keep your pandas fed.
In turn you lay down cards as singles, sets, runs or formations; when you pass, you flip your played orange cards to their blue side. A tactical climbing game with a clever card-flip twist.
