Würfel Bohnanza turns the bean-trading card game into a dice game. Instead of planting and swapping bean cards, you roll seven bean dice and try to fill orders for Bohnentalers, the game's coins. Each player has two order cards with six orders apiece, ranging from easy ones at the bottom, such as two specific beans, to hard ones at the top, such as four of a kind. You must complete them from the bottom up, and you can re-roll and lock dice as you go. First to thirteen Bohnentalers wins. It is a short, light, push-your-luck game for two to five, about 45 minutes, with the Bohnanza humor intact.

Who it's for

You like Bohnanza and want a lighter dice cousin, or you enjoy push-your-luck rolling in a group of two to five.

Not for you if…

You want a tight, planned game or the card trading that made Bohnanza famous. This is about dice and nerve.

Vibe's take

Light and rattly, with the classic dice tension of keep-or-reroll. You are always asking yourself whether to take the safe order or chase the big one.
