Bohnanza*
Bohnanza is a unique card game about planting, trading, and harvesting beans. Unlike typical card games, you can't rearrange your hand, adding a strategic twist. The core of the game lies in trading beans with others to manage your hand effectively.
Gameplay Overview
- Planting & Harvesting: Plant beans from your hand and harvest them for coins.
- Fixed Hand Order: Play cards in the order you receive them, unless traded.
- Trading: Central to the game; trade with others to optimize your hand and fields.
- Fields & Bean Types: Each field holds one bean type. If needed, harvest to plant new types.
- Earning Coins: Coins are earned based on the number of beans harvested and the bean type.
- Deck Cycles: Play through the deck three times. When empty, shuffle and reuse discards.
- Game Versions: Various editions exist, with adaptations for different player counts and rules.
Conclusion
Bohnanza is more than just a bean farming game; it's a test of strategy, negotiation, and foresight. Balancing hand management with effective trading makes every round a fresh challenge. It's an engaging game for those who love strategic planning and interactive gameplay.
