Bohnanza Das Duell

There can be only one!

Bean economy for two players, planting, giving away or harvesting beans for as many Bean Dollars as possible. But beware Bean gifts!

You begin the game with three bean dollars, three bean fields, five bean cards in hand and three bo(h)nus cards. Eight gift cards for the bean varieties are laid out in a row in ascending order.

As in Bohnanza, you plant one or two bean cards from your hand on one of your fields in Phase I of your turn, either a bean of the same kind or of the next higher number, and harvesting a field if necessary.

In Phase II you turn over three bean cards from the deck and must give away a card, either one of the turned-up ones or one from your hand, you move the gift card of this kind towards your opponent. He accepts or refuses the gift and must now offer a gift from his hand, etc., until one player accepts a gift. You may bluff when offering a gift, but must give your opponent a dollar, if he accepts and you do not have the offered bean. Bo(h)nus cards can be resolved when the necessary bean planting arrangement is on the table. They are then discarded at the end of your turn.

Then, in Phase III, you plant received and turned-up beans; if there is no room on your fields, you must harvest a field or fields as in Phase I. In Phase IV you draw two beans from the stack and also draw Bo(h)nus cards and can resolve them immediately.

Beans are suitable for gourmets, after all, at least when prepared by Uwe Rosenberg. This variant for two players would, culinarily speaking, earn at least two Michelin stars! Tactical, cute, with exactly the right amount of luck of the draw - a definite must for fans of Bohnanza!
