When I met the game a few weeks ago, I was immediately impressed. It has gambled all night "Bohnanza" and has since repeated this.
It is advantageous in any case, to get the game from someone who taught who knows it already. The manual is very complex and sometimes not easy to understand.
Similar to the settlers game is also at "Bohnanza" about sent and act clever and thereby collect beans Taler (= game points). Relaxation and breathing space during the game turn the players do not exist. One must always be on the ball to make a joint or the opponent (after all, it's about the win) the perfect deal, without any one else comes earlier. Short time the toilet is not ...
The game combines like no other strategy and entertainment perfectly. It never gets boring and can be abendfüllend easily.
In the anniversary edition is the game now (what earlier was not the case) provided in a stable metal box so that the worn and x-times glued cardboard boxes that I have seen in friends, hopefully a thing of the past. That thereby also the level of durability greatly improved is expected to be on hand.
With the basic version, 3 to 5 players can gamble together. But the game designer has created extensions with which one also houses up to 7 players at the table. There is also a Bohnanzaspiel for 2 players by gambles against the "Bean Mafia" and the opposite.
Conclusion: A great game.
