On a turn, you must plant the first one or two cards in your hand into the fields in front of you. Each field can hold only one type of bean, so if you must plant a type of bean that s not in one of your fields, then you must harvest a field to make room for the new arrival. This usually isn t good! Next, you reveal two cards from the deck, and you can then trade these cards as well as any card in your hand for cards from other players. You can even make future promises for cards received right now! After all the trading is complete — and all trades on a turn must involve the active player — then you end your turn by drawing cards from the deck and placing them at the back of your hand.

When you harvest beans, you receive coins based on the number of bean cards in that field and the beanometer for that particular type of bean. Flip over 1-4 cards from that field to transform them into coins, then place the remainder of the cards in the discard pile. When the deck runs out, shuffle the discards, playing through the deck two more times. At the end of the game, everyone can harvest their fields, then whoever has earned the most coins wins.

Bohnanza: 25 Jahre-Edition is a special 25th anniversary edition of the game that contains a new bean type and comes with three variant games, one of which will use a collectible coin packaged in the box.
