About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for the dice version of the classic Bohnanza! In Bohnanza: Das Würfelspiel, you swap cards for colorful dice to plant and harvest your beans. The goal is to be the first to collect 10 'Bohnentalers' to win. Each player starts with two order cards, showing different bean combinations to complete, from the easiest at the bottom to the most challenging at the top. To fulfill an order, you need to roll the dice and use the results to form the required combination, always completing from bottom to top. On your turn, you roll five bean dice and must set aside at least one with each roll. You can re-roll up to seven times, using the dice to complete as many orders as possible on your card. Upon completing three orders, you 'harvest' the card and earn coins. Each additional completed order is worth another coin, up to a limit. The cool part is that while you roll your dice, other players can also use the freshly rolled results to advance on their own order cards! This adds an interesting layer of interaction, as you might unintentionally help your opponents. The game ends as soon as someone reaches the 10 Bohnentaler goal, and the player with the most wins. It's a quick and fun adaptation that keeps the spirit of the original Bohnanza, but with the randomness and speed of dice.
