About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to invade the Bohnreich with Bohnaparte, the expansion that turns the peaceful bean-planting game into a strategic battlefield! If you thought Bohnanza was just about harvesting, think again. Here, you become a Napoleonic general tasked with conquering territories, using your bean cards not only to earn coins but also to fund your military campaigns. Each bean type gains new strategic value, as the numbers on the cards now determine your army's strength. The base Bohnanza game is essential, but Bohnaparte adds a layer of complexity and interaction that will keep you glued to the table. With new cards to expand the Bohnreich map and colored markers for each general (that's you!), the competition gets fierce. The ultimate goal is no longer just to have the largest plantation, but rather to control the biggest slice of territory. It's an unusual and brilliant mix of hand management, set collection, and negotiation, all seasoned with a touch of territorial conquest and a hint of 'Bohnanza meets Risk'. A limited edition that brings a breath of war to your favorite bean game!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Bohnanza game to play Bohnaparte?
Yes, absolutely! Bohnaparte is an expansion and relies entirely on the base Bohnanza game to function.
Does Bohnaparte change the rules of Bohnanza much?
It adds new mechanics and a different objective (territory conquest), but the core of planting and trading beans remains. It's an extra layer, not a total replacement.
What is the average playtime with Bohnaparte?
Generally, the playtime stays around 90 minutes, but it can vary depending on player interaction and negotiation.
How many players can participate?
Just like the base game, Bohnaparte is for 3 to 5 players.
Does the complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
A bit. The addition of conquest mechanics and using cards for combat raises the complexity compared to the original Bohnanza, but it's still quite accessible.
Is it worth it for those who prefer the 'cute' side of Bohnanza?
It might not be the main focus. If you love negotiation and conflict-free planting, this expansion adds a 'war' element that might not appeal to everyone. But if you enjoy an extra challenge, it can be great!
