Bohnanza Fun & Easy (2010)

About this game

A stand alone variant of Bohnanza for the younger generations. The beans have youthful design: Rock-bean, Hamburger-fan bean, and so on. Players are planting beans to their beanfield. Player may plant from their hand as well as from the beanmarket. If there are beans in the market the player does not want to keep, he can change it with one other player. Players may earn beanthalers with harvesting their beans. The winner is the player who collects the most beanthalers during the game. Simpler, but it has the feeling of the original Bohnanza.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
