Bohnanza review

Bohnanza is a card game that has become a staple in our household, and for good reason! It's one of those games that's so simple to learn but has surprising depth. The concept is straightforward: you're a bean farmer, and your goal is to collect the most coins by planting, harvesting, and trading beans.

What makes Bohnanza so captivating is the trading aspect. You can't rearrange the cards in your hand, so you have to make strategic decisions about when to plant, harvest, and trade. The game is all about negotiation and making deals with other players, which can lead to some hilarious moments as you try to convince them to take your beans.

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about a game focused on beans at first. However, the quirky artwork and the humor involved in the game quickly won me over. The bean characters are all so charming, and the trading process is a lot of fun.

We've played Bohnanza with groups of 3-5 players, and it's always a hit. The game is quick to learn and set up, and the rounds don't take too long.

One thing I appreciate about Bohnanza is that it's a great game for people of all ages. While it's simple enough for kids to understand, there's also a lot of strategy involved that keeps adults entertained.

If you're looking for a fun, engaging card game that's full of personality, I highly recommend Bohnanza.
