Bohnanza *****


Definitely the leading game amongst all those I currently own. Easy to learn, easy to play, low cost and engaging. Good for all ages. As I've mentioned in earlier posts, this game is another must have on top of Bang! and Citadels. Already managed to convince Weixiong to get this game. hehehe. Priced at S$30 or US$11.38, it is definitely value for money!

This is a very simple game based on trading. Aim of the game is to get the most Gold, in other words, harvest the most from your bean fields. The value of harvest gets better with more of the same type of beans being planted. Premature harvesting will cause you to reap lesser rewards. You are to plant the 1st card in your hand at every turn. In order to avoid premature harvesting and forced planting of new bean types, donating away what you do not intend to plant is necessary to benefit yourself. Heh..... this means the game promotes generosity!

P.S. As long as you don't play this game like Kenneth, who perpetually loses every game by a margin of 10 Gold or so, you are a fine player. hahaha
