Würfel Bohnanza

China, Green, Stink and Red BEans = 4 Coins

Now the bean farmers have switched to rolling dice to comply with bean orders, filled orders earn you money. The seven dice feature two groups of dice: Four dice with two Stink Beans (Saubohne), one China Bean, one Red Bean, one Green Bean (Brechbohne) and one Blue Bean on a white background, and three dice with two Soy Beans, one Garden Bean, one Green Bean (Brechbohne) and two Blue Beans on a beige background.

You are dealt two harvest cards and set them out open-faced; the second card is used to cover the filled orders on the first one. The six orders on a card are filled from bottom to top, orders 4-6 earn you coins. Numbers next to the orders denote the probability to fill them in one roll. You roll all dice or remaining dice and must place at least one die on the bean field after each roll; each die can be used for more than one order. After each roll other players can check the dice just rolled for use in their own orders, but only those just rolled, not those already sitting on the bean field. After order #3 you can hand in the card for coins earned – you use the filled order card and cards from the stack and flip them to the coin side - and draw a new one, the cover card becomes the new order card and the newly drawn card serves as cover card. If you are the first to earn 13 coins you win.

Some of the harvest orders on the cards are similar to poker combinations, but all in all the games fits nicely into the Bohniverse, it is fun and a felicitous family game; due to the different dice you can practice a little theory of probability and be surprised that it doesn’t work. Quick, simple, nice and good!
