Plant and trade beans with a fixed hand order. The negotiations are the game.
Vibe's take
social, hilarious trading, accessible, deal-making chaos, classic
Who it's for
Any group that enjoys social negotiation. Works brilliantly from 3 to 7 players.
Not for you if…
You dislike negotiation or social pressure. Every turn involves begging someone to take your beans.
Plant beans, harvest beans, trade beans with everyone at the table. The twist: you cannot rearrange your hand, so the order you draw cards is the order you must plant them. Desperate to get rid of that stink bean blocking your hand? Trade it away, beg someone to take it, promise future favors. The mandatory trading turns every round into a chaotic, hilarious negotiation. Simple enough for anyone, deep enough that experienced players consistently win. A genuine classic that has been a staple since 1997.
