Description:


Bean farming was never so much fun! In Bohnanza, you have two or three bean fields and a handful of bean cards to plant in those fields. When you sell beans, you earn more for growing more of one variety than a few of several. Thus, you want to plant as many of your favorites as you can. But you must plant the beans in your hand in the order you got them. To get rid of the beans you don't want to plant, you trade them to other players for those you want. With clever trading, you get the cards you want without helping the other players too much. In the end, the player who earns the most gold is the winner!

Our Review:

In the card game of Bohnanza, each player takes on the role of an entrepreneurial bean farmer. Players plant their beans in their bean fields, hoping for a plentiful harvest that will yield large amounts of wealth--the more beans of the same type that you can harvest, the greater the payout. However, because you can only plant beans of the same type in your fields, and because you must plant beans in the order you draw them, trading is the centerpiece of the game. The trading dynamic keeps the game exciting no matter whose turn it is.

Bohnanza plays best with three or more players (the more the better). The cards are high quality and feature top-notch artwork. The best part of Bohnanza is that it can be played casually, but it is still extremely fun and highly interactive. Bohnanza is an extremely popular game for a reason--you won't be disappointed.

Bohnanza rating: 5/5 stars Wonderful Game

This game is easy enough to teach in a couple of minutes, yet quite tactical and somewhat strategic. Its replayability rates very high, it's very portable and easy to set up (consisting entirely of a large deck of cards), and it is well received by everyone I have played with. All this put together makes for an excellent game! The trading aspect really is what makes this game shine.

Bohnanza rating: 1.5/5 stars Boring

There is no strategy, there is no real reason to play

Bohnanza rating: 5/5 stars Takes a bit to explain but once u do...

Amazing. I have yet to introduce this game to someone who doesn't like it or have fun playing it. I find it works BEST with 4 players but any amount is great. It's a cheap, fun, interactive game that never gets old because it's all about the dealing and trading, which is new each time.

Bohnanza rating: 5/5 stars Amazing!

I've played this game so many times, at so many places ! a lot of my friends now have this game because they like it so much. It is a great game to play with lots of people!

Bohnanza rating: 5/5 stars Always a hit

I've had this game for 5 years and it is always a hit to anyone I introduce it to. A few of them have bought copies for themselves. I think what makes this game fun for most people is that it is highly engaging between all of the players. It forces you to talk and negotiate in order to trade cards away that you don't want, for cards that you do want. Being a card game you can pack it anywhere, and the setup involves nothing more than shuffling the deck and dealing. I went to a bar once and there were 4 people in a booth playing this, I couldn't believe it. I almost asked to be dealt in ;).

Bohnanza rating: 5/5 stars Stronger!

The first time I played this game was a junk for me! my friends were experts playing Bohnanza and just couldnīt get it. I was disapointed. Now When Iīve read your reviews and the right instructions Iīm motivated to be one of them and win it!
