Legends says that a panda bear sat among bamboo plants, chewing on leaves with relish, spinning on itself when they were all eaten.

Looking up at the starry night sky, it felt it had to join the 12 animals of the zodiac. Thus «Panda Spin» was born...

Designer Carl Chudyk who lived and worked in China was inspired by the traditionnal card game of «Chu Da Di», to create this original

combination.

The aim of the game remains to discard your cards faster than the others by winning tricks.

But there is a unique twist. If you lose a trick, you can create an advantage: The cards go back into your hand rotated 180 degrees and stronger.

In this game, the path to victory often requires to lose the right trick at the right time!

Are you ready to Panda Spin?
