Pandamonium

2025·Matthew Phillips-Rudowski

From BoardGameGeek

Pandamonium is a lightweight board game with card drafting and set collection mechanics. It's played over 4 rounds of simultaneous play where you'll be drafting cards to collect tributes for the Panda Lords. In Pandamonium, you will bribe the Panda Lords and Usurpers to secure your place of influence within the Pandapire. Select your Tributes wisely and navigate the chaos of the Pandamonium Cards to ensure that when the dust settles, your influence remains supreme. Gather your tribute and bribe your way to victory by gaining the favour of as many of the Panda Lords and Usurpers as you can. But don't get too comfortable with your hand it won't be yours for long. At the end of the 4th round, the winner is the player with the most unique Favour Tiles. -description from the designer
