About the game

What you do in a play session

You know the classic Bohnanza that everyone loves? Well, in 2018, AMIGO decided to add a twist to the game with the 'Erdnuss' edition. This special version was born from a partnership with the food company ültje and introduces an element that messes with every farmer's head: the peanut! Basically, the game follows the same vibe as traditional Bohnanza — you plant your beans, negotiate with the group, and try to achieve the best harvest to profit — but with a crucial detail regarding the peanut cards.

In standard Bohnanza, each field is exclusive to one type of bean. However, the peanut is the bold 'gatecrasher': it can be planted on top of any other bean type. But this comes with a huge risk. If you harvest a field and the peanut is on top, congratulations, you've been caught red-handed! The 'peanut thief' was discovered, and the entire field becomes worthless, resulting in zero talers. On the flip side, if you're clever enough to bury the peanut between two other beans in the same field, you earn a bonus of one extra taler during the harvest.

This edition was limited to only 10,000 copies, making it a true collector's item. It offers the same social and frantic trading experience we already know, but with this extra layer of risk and reward. Will you risk placing a peanut to try and earn more, or will you play it safe to avoid losing everything? The negotiation dynamics become even more interesting when someone tries to push a 'strategic' peanut your way. It's a fast, fun game, perfect for those who love seeing their friends' faces while trying to convince them that a specific trade is the deal of a lifetime.
