BOHNANZA – Das Duell

Nature’s laws are infringed

There is a good reason for the deluxe edition of the Duel (the game itself was already published in 2016) - a birthday. But not the game’s birthday is celebrated, it is the designer’s birthday. Happy 50th Birthday, dear Uwe!

Fantastic components and a special, unusual box for this version. Again, we plant beans as usual, but this time - against all common or general gardening traditions and conventions - not separated by variety. We can plant the bean variety showing the next higher number: Brechbohne (14) on Sojabohne (12).

As the trading phase does not work too well in a 2-player game, the active player must make a bean gift. If the receiver does not want to accept the gift, he is obliged to make a counter-gift in another variety. The phase ends when a gift is accepted or with payment of a Taler when a player has bluffed and does not have the offered bean variety.

The three Bohnus cards, which are available for each player at any time, reward certain planting sequences with a Taler; as this also includes opposing fields, gift giving takes on an additional tactical aspect.

Das Duell – clearly more tactical than the 2-player version „Al Cabohne“ – introduces many new facets into the cozy world of bean gardening. Trading is out, gift giving is in, gifts are nicely tracked with the Geschenkometer. The Bohnus cards give you a lot of room to play, that needs to be cleverly used. Let’s dig over the old bean fields!
