Objective cards Players earn points by completing objective cards, which belong to one of three categories: Plot cards require a certain arrangement of coloured plots to be present on the garden. All plots must be irrigated in order to count. Gardener objective cards require certain colours of bamboo  to be grown to various heights. Panda objectives require the panda to have eaten certain amounts of different colours of bamboo on that player's turns. Players start the game with one objective card from each category, and can have up to a maximum of five in their hand. Cards have different point values, depending how difficult that particular objective is to complete  . The first player to reach a certain number of completed objectives (9 in a two-player game, 8 in a three-player  game) receives a bonus Emperor card worth 2 points, and triggers the last round of the game.
