Bohnanza Card Game

Bohnanza is a delightfully unique card game centered around planting and trading beans, designed by Uwe Rosenberg and published by Amigo Games. First released in 1997, it has become a modern classic that has sold millions of copies worldwide. The game is notable for its unusual rule that players cannot rearrange the cards in their hand, which creates fascinating strategic and trading dynamics as players desperately seek partners to trade unwanted beans. Each player manages two or three bean fields, planting matching bean cards to earn coins. The variety of bean types ranges from common to rare, each with different point-scoring thresholds, adding strategic depth. Trading is central and highly social, as players negotiate deals to acquire the beans they need and offload those they do not. The humor of the bean theme and the lively trading phase make Bohnanza an exceptionally social experience. Suitable for 2 to 7 players and ages 12 and up, it plays in 45 to 60 minutes. The game is easy to teach but rewards strategic thinking and negotiation skills. Bohnanza is a timeless classic that belongs in every card game collection.
