Panda Royale: Expansion Set is an expansion for Panda Royale released in 2024 for 2–10 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Jake Jenne and Nate Jenne and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Open Drafting.
Panda Royale: Expansion Set features three new panda clans: The Panda Support Team consists of seven additional d6 dice; when drafted, these dice give you the ability to re-roll under-performing dice. The Wild Pandas are seven dice that mimic the attributes of other pandas you have already recruited. Do you need more purple pandas? Draft one of these dice, and you will increase the points earned by your purple pandas. The Wise Sage Pandas allow you to earn an permanent pink d10 after you have acquired at least six of the existing clans. This die scores big (up to 90 points) because you have acquired experience from many clans.
Panda Royale: Expansion Set supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Panda Royale: Expansion Set is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Panda Royale: Expansion Set for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
