Way of the Panda
Players each control three panda figures — monk, merchant, and warrior — and place them on an action board to move around the city, perform tasks, and contest locations. Actions are chosen via a worker-placement mechanism that requires spending action points; stronger actions cost more and later choices become unavailable. Players build buildings, train characters for combat, and fight enemies on city streets while accumulating wisdom, which scores points and acts as a multiplier at game end. Board play also emphasizes spatial strategy, as players try to link their own streets from north to south by constructing connected buildings.

Beautiful abstract game, a bit cold, but with very original mechanics
