Game overview
Bohnanza is not a new game. Originally published in 1997, many extensions have maintained interest in it for many years. I only had a chance to play it recently, so this is my comment:
Designed by Uwe Rosenberg, Uwe Rosenberg is known for many other successful games, such as Agricola, Le Havre and, more recently, Ora et Labora. It is actually a game he is famous in the world of board games. The name "Bohnanza" is a pun of "bonanza" and "Bohne" [ German for "beans" from
]. It is essentially a card game, the only component of which is the card that depicts the beans. Players play the role of bean farmers, their sole purpose is to successfully grow, harvest and sell beans. Each player starts with 2 bean fields and they can grow any kind of beans, limiting their ability to grow a bean in each field. The more players wait for beans to grow, the more beans of the same variety they grow in each field, the more coins they can get and sell. But sometimes they may be forced to give up specific beans and even have the opportunity to sell them for profit.
Each player holds 5 beans in his hand and the remaining cards become draws. This is the most important and unique rule in the game, and it looks a bit embarrassing at first: you will never be allowed to change the order of the cards in your hand! This is a very unusual rule that is difficult to understand at first, because in most card games you can do whatever you want with your cards [many times you will find yourself nervously using the cards in your hands] Change their orders continuously]. After a while, you will get used to this rule, which plays an important role in the game because you have to grow the beans in the order they are received. Whenever you draw a new card, you must draw a card at a time and then place them behind the last card in your hand. In your turn, you must do the following:
- Plant beans. You must plant the first bean in one of your areas. If you like, you can also grow a second one.
- Draw, trade and donate cards. You draw 2 topmost cards from the drawing board and place them face up on the table. You can keep these cards, set them aside to plan in the next step, and trade other cards with any card in your hand. Other players can provide any number of cards in their hands to purchase a particular card from the active player. They must also plant the cards they will receive from the transaction. If no one is interested in buying your offer, you can donate it to any other player. You may want to do this because you may not have an empty field to grow them, and you will be forced to sell some of the grown beans to get less profit than you want, or maybe not at all. After 2 cards face up are reserved, you can continue trading/donation cards after trading/donation. The player who is the recipient of the donation is not obligated to accept it. In this case, you will be forced to plant cards that others don't want.
- Plant trade / donated beans. In this step, all reserved, traded or donated cards must be planned. Players can [and may need] harvest and sell beans from the bean fields to grow new beans.
- Draw a new bean card. You take 3 cards from the draw, one at a time, and put it on the back of your hand.
When the drawer deck is exhausted, the discarded cards are shuffled and placed on the table to become a new draw medal. When the platform is exhausted for the third time, the game ends. Then the players harvest and sell the beans in their bean fields. The player with the most gold coins wins the game.
Rio Grande's latest version of the game includes the first version of the first German expansion and rules for up to seven players, but also includes two player rules. The two-player game called "Bean Duel" has some major changes that can completely change the feel of the game. This may be really predictable because only two players in the game cannot make any trades. The most important changes in this release are:
- Players can only sell beans themselves
- When the draw is depleted for the first time, the game is over
- In the initial steps of each round, the player must plant or discard the last round of cards donated to him.
- The player draws three [rather than two] cards from the draw and places them face up on the table. If the topmost card on the drop is discarded to match the card displayed in this way, the player adds it to them and continues to do so until the topmost card of the drop stack does not match any of the cards drawn. Then he/she can keep the cards and donate the rest to his/her opponent.
impression
When I was asked to try this game, I had to admit that I was a bit reluctant because I thought it would be a bit of a stupid game [I don't think this title will help much]. Looking at the Bean Card is a pleasant surprise because I saw the beans published in a way I never thought of. What strange beans! Stinky beans [oh!] and dark circles of beans, wax boxes and waxy beans polished floors. Oh, this is fun! I admit that I was a bit trouble at first, remember not to mess with my card #39; ordering may be because I played a lot of magic parties, hehe! During the game, I found myself trying to figure out the best strategy for getting more coins and getting profitable deals, and having lots of laughter and player interaction never made me bored. The end of the first game made me very excited and eager to start a new game [and get my sweet revenge]. Since then I have played a lot of Bohnanza games, so let's take a look at some of our analysis of the core aspects of the game:
Component:
The components of the game are simple and straightforward cards, but they pay attention to detail. The card is made of hard, high quality card material that is shiny and very wear resistant. I rarely see card games with this quality card. from
9/10
Gameplay:
Bohnanza is a game I think I can never play. Turning around is fun and fun for all players. The trading mechanism is a key factor. Many people will say that this game is very straightforward and there are not many strategies involved, but I think there are a lot of things to think about here. Players need to make profitable trades, trying to benefit from the trade, rather than helping their opponents, and must decide the best time to harvest the crops. Many important issues require wise decisions. Should I now harvest and sell at a price below the maximum profit to be able to grow new crops, or should I wait for a while to get the most profit? Should I buy a third bean farm? A very positive aspect of the game is its flexibility in the number of players. Referring to the latest version of Rio Grande, the revised rules are adjusted to 6-7, 4-5, 3 or even two players. These rules ensure that the game will remain sufficiently playable and fun, regardless of the number of players, generally not noticed and must be praised. In general, the simplicity of the mechanism and the conspiracy is the key to the success of Bohnanza! from
8/10
learning curve :
The rules of the game are very simple. In the first few games, you may find yourself a little forgetful and master the order of the cards. The best way to solve this problem is to never take a card from your hand before other players accept the deal or donate. Other than that, you don't have to remember any complicated rules. The value of each legume crop is displayed on the card, the "bean meter" and its rarity, so you basically just have to remember the order of your actions. from
8/10
theme :
The theme of the game is very simple. You are a bean farmer!! The reason you are often reminded is that everything you see on the table is a bean card. In your field, you will see the same kind of bean planted under another kind. Your real farm relationship is very close. All beans do not have the same rarity and do not have the same market value, which means that some are more rare than other beans, such as cocoa beans can only be found 4 times on the deck, so it is very valuable [only 4 of them are sold] Production] 4 coins]. This also refers to real market conditions. What might ruin the theme of immersion is the strangeness of the beans you planted! Some are very ridiculous, but this is part of the fun, so there is absolutely no complaint. from
7/10
Playable :
As I said before Bohnanza, I will never be bored. It's simple and fast, and every game can't be the same as any other game. You will want to play a lot of games to improve your strategy and test your thoughts, but it all comes down to one factor: it's fun, I want to play again! from
9/10
joke :
Player interaction is often the key to fun games, and this game is no exception. Trying to make the best deals and donating cards will make you and your friends laugh and laugh at each other. This is what I am talking about. In addition, the design of the beans is very interesting. Many times I found myself just staring at the card and smiling... yes, it's absolutely fun! from
9/10
advantage:
- Player interaction
- Every game is different
- Well-designed cards and high quality materials
- Can play with 2 to 7 players, but there are no interesting factors
- Quick play
Disadvantages:
- Some people may think this is too simple
- I can't find more things to complain about [I guess that is a professional!]
Overall: 8.3
