Bohnanza Review: Plant, Harvest, Trade, and Prosper!

, Comment regular icon0 comments

In Bohnanza, we're farmers: we plant, harvest, trade, and sell beans. The bean market is big and everything is a bargain. We'll have to manage our 2 or 3 fields to grow beans and get rich - being a farmer has never been this fun!

The Lore Behind the Game

Where did the name Bohnanza come from? In my humble and a bit uncreative opinion, it reminded me of an old western TV show called Bonanza, so I thought the characters in this game had to eat the beans, not harvest them. It was nothing like that.

Watch some gameplay:

Teaching Moments

If you're looking for a fun, fast game that is easy to teach, and will force you to work on your math skills, logic reasoning, and strategies, Bohnanza is the perfect game for you!

This game is so great that picking its best features is a bit difficult. Besides everything I've already mentioned, it is small, so you can take it anywhere. This makes it an excellent choice for all occasions if you want to have fun, but also learn something.

Its rules are extremely simple and intuitive; you can teach them in minutes. You'll have to use your management skills as well as your math skills and logic reasoning at all times. Furthermore, you'll have to manage your hand, the order of the cards in your hand, how many beans you plant, and so on and so forth.

Not to mention, you'll have to think of a strategy whenever you plant, harvest, trade, and negotiate your beans. You'll have to plan ahead all the time, even if it's not your turn, as your opponents may trade their own cards and offer you something as well. Remain focused throughout the entire game, and you might just win!

Nonetheless, it is still quite fun, as trading can be quite competitive: "I trade this Bean for yours", "I have a better Bean", "I'll give you two for one!", and so on and so forth. You'll laugh a lot and create unforgettable memories.

Bohnanza is a lot of fun, as well as a lesson in math, management, and strategy!

I highly recommend Bohnanza to your collection!!
