Bohnanza: The Duel

A two-player bean duel where you gift your opponent the beans they least want.

The bean-trading classic reworked for exactly two players. Instead of haggling, you hand your opponent beans they can't use, forcing them into awkward planting decisions. You each chase secret bonus goals while planting beans in fields, harvesting them for coins, and quietly sabotaging the other farmer with your gifts.

Who it's for

Couples and pairs who like a bit of friendly sabotage and enjoyed classic Bohnanza but want something sharper for two.

Not for you if…

You want the big, chatty multiplayer trading of the original, or you dislike games where much of your effort goes into annoying one specific person.

Vibe's take

A tug-of-war of unwanted presents, where planning your own fields matters as much as jamming up your rival's.
