About the game

What you do in a play session

Wendy Pferdebasar is the equine spin on Bohnanza, produced under license from the German horse magazine Wendy. Instead of beans, you handle bright cards depicting foals and horses in whimsical poses, trying to set up "pastures" – the fields where you plant the animals – and later harvest coins. The big twist is that you cannot rearrange your hand; cards must be played in the order they appear, which makes negotiation even tighter. Card trading is the game's core: players swap foals, bundle sets, and strike deals while managing their hands like a tiny stable of opportunities. Each horse type appears two to five times; foals (the lower‑value cards) give a bonus when a player is the sole breeder of that kind, but if a foal ends up on top of a scored field it’s worth nothing. There’s no optional third field and, unlike Bohnanza, the rule that blocks scoring a field with a single horse under certain conditions is absent, streamlining play. The game supports 2‑5 players, runs about 45 minutes, and has a light complexity level, perfect for fans of lively trades and animal themes. If you liked Bohnanza or love negotiation games with a cute horse twist, Wendy Pferdebasar might just gallop into your collection.
