Let me start by saying, Panda Royale is an absolute blast! I've played it multiple times with my family, and it never fails to bring laughter and excitement to the table. The fast-paced nature keeps everyone engaged, and the 20-30 minute playtime is perfect for squeezing in a quick game night.

The variety of dice colors and their unique powers add a surprising layer of strategy. I love how each color has its own twist—some multiply your score, while others can be a bit risky. It keeps every game fresh and unpredictable.

One of the best things about Panda Royale is how easy it is to learn. We scanned the QR code in the rulebook, watched the short video, and were ready to play in minutes. Even my younger cousins (ages 8+) picked it up quickly, though they needed a little help with the math at first.

The game scales beautifully from 3 to 10 players. With larger groups, turns can slow slightly, but it never feels dragged out. We’ve played with as few as 3 and as many as 8, and it’s always a hit.

A small gripe: The scorecards wear out fast if you play often. But hey, laminating them (or printing extras from their website) solves that problem easily.

If you love dice games like Yahtzee but crave something more dynamic and interactive, Panda Royale is a must-buy. At $40, it’s a steal for the hours of fun it delivers.
