## Description
Get ready for a planting duel in Bohnanza: The Duel! In this exclusive two-player version of the classic Bohnanza, the competition is fierce and full of bluffs. Each farmer has their own bean field and a secret objective to fulfill, earning money from harvests and special bonuses. The twist here is that instead of free trading, you exchange bean "gifts." One player offers a bean they can't use, and the other decides whether to accept. Refusing might mean having to reciprocate the "gift"! Watch out for bluffs, as getting caught can be costly. The bean planting mechanic also has a special touch: if you plant a different type in the same field, it must have a sequential number higher than the previous one. Harvesting is based on the last bean planted in the field. Fulfilling secret objectives earns extra points, and whoever accumulates the most "bean dollars" at the end, when the deck runs out, claims victory. It's a fast-paced, strategic game that tests your ability to read your opponent, perfect for Bohnanza fans or those seeking a competitive two-player card game. A Deluxe edition also exists, featuring a board and tokens for the gift mechanic.

## FAQ

### How long does a game take?
A game typically takes around 45 minutes, so you can play multiple rounds in a single session.
