Fun Game!Aug 19, 2010
My husband and I got introduced to this game when we were in college. We bought it shortly after we graduated and everywhere we have moved we've introduced it to our friends. Everyone we've played with loves it and ends up buying for themselves.
Great game!Aug 11, 2010
We bought this game about 4 months ago and love it. Everyone we've taught it to finds it a little confusing at first, but then enjoys the challenge of trying to make the best trades to win. My only caution on this game would be that although the box says you can play with as few as 2 players, the trades don't really work well unless you have at least 4 players. As far as minimum age is concerned, my 10-yr-old plays with us and has learned how to barter for a trade to his liking, and as a result loves the game. My 8 1/2 yr old has played as well, and has a great understanding of the game, but has a harder time haggling with potential trade partners (especially if its her mom or dad). Its a great game. If you enjoy games that require a lot of interaction, then you'll like this one.
Wonderful for groups!Jun 16, 2010
What does it take to be a successful bean farmer? It may not be as hard as you think! With some creative strategy, a little luck of the draw, and the right friends in Beanland, you could be raking in the dough. Planning ahead, scarcity, and public relations all come into play in this fast paced game that is sure to quickly become a favorite!
As a successful bean farmer, it's important that you plant the right beans. Of eleven bean varieties, you can only grow two at a time. This means for each bean planted, other beans in your hand must find their own homes. This is where the other farmers come into play: your persuasive skills will quickly be put to the test as you convince other players to take your unwanted beans, and attempt to talk them into giving you their own beans. Negotiations are fierce as popular beans are put up for auction, with everyone competing to grow the most profitable crops, and ultimately to gain the most coins and win the game.
I first played Bohnanza while 30,000 feet in the air on my return from our honeymoon in Tucson. The rules of the game are very straight-forward; in the time it took to reach the Portland airport, we had already played the two-player version several times (which is nearly as fun as with more players). I was so fond of Bohnanza that I introduced it to my family the following month, and they absolutely loved it. Of all the games we own, Bohnanza is by far the most popular with my family. Even a recent Thanksgiving was not complete without a hearty round of Bohnanza!
I would highly recommend this game to others who are looking for a good time with friends. It is not so strategic as to lose the average person, but winning does require skill and planning. Its clever concepts and artistic illustrations can be enjoyed by even the most disinterested gamer. I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and think it will be a classic in our household for many years to come.

Wonderful little card game for many players!Jun 03, 2010
I truly enjoy this trading card game if I can get more than 3 people to play. It is fairly simple to learn after you go a few rounds. It kind of reminds me of Catan a little bit in it's trading phase, but without all the strategic depth of placing bits on a board. The concept of having to keep your cards in the order you received them was new to me, but it is what makes the game so fun. It forces you to trade or donate cards, so you can arrange your hand to maximize your bean fields for money. The pace of the game is fairly quick so long as fellow players don't get too deep in thought.
I believe it plays better the more people you have. We tried it with 3, and it was very hard compared to the having more. I can see why you need all 3 bean fields when you only play 3. So, basically, get a lot of people together when you play this game!
 Bean planting with a strategyMay 06, 2010
This game was first introduced to me by a friend. At first, the idea of bean planting was silly, but as you start playing and getting into the game, it's actually really fun! You soon realize that it takes strategy to gain more money so you can lead. It was so fun that I decided to buy my own set.
