(More customer reviews)Bohnanza is affectionately known as "The Bean Game" around our house. The rules of this game are going to be a little complex for casual gamers. It's not something that's going to be picked up as easy as Uno. It took about twice around the table for our group to get a good grip of the steps in each turn. After that, the game flowed nicely.
Bohnanza is for 2-7 players. There are major rule variations in the 2-player game. There are better 2 player games (like Lost Cities). This definitely plays best in a group.
Seven players is an odd limitation considering people usually arrive to game night in pairs. One evening there were 8 of us so we just played partners. That works very well especially for players who are new to the game.
There is a lot of talking during the game, especially during the barter phase, which again makes it a good game to play in a large group. However, this game is not a hilarious, crazy, party game that some people may be used to. It's a thinking person's game and it would be impossible for any young child to play without constant coaching from an adult. The names of some of the beans usually draws some laughs in the beginning.
This game is very unique and is probably unlike any game many people have ever played. It's uniqueness really draws people in, especially if they're used to traditional "Milton Bradley-type" games.
If you're a fan of "different" games (Carcasonne, Settlers of Catan, or even Pit) there's little doubt that Bohnanza will quickly become a favorite. However, if "Uno" is complex enough for you, you probably want to avoid Bohnanza.

his great card game is about planting trading and selling beans - 11 kinds of beans (this English version includes all the cards from the original game and the first expansion). Players try to collect large sets of beans to sell for gold. There is limited growing space and always new beans to plant. To avoid planting unwanted beans players trade them to other players who want them for their bean fields.
