Base Game (3–5 Players)
Contents & Setup
Give one of the bean field mats to each player. These mats have one side
showing three bean fields and one side showing two fields.
If there are three players,
use the mats with the
three bean fields side up.
If there are four or five For 3 players For 4-5 players
players, start with two
bean fields each.
In addition, each bean field mat has a space for your coin pile.
Pick a starting player and give them the starting player card.
Also, each player receives an overview card with the different
phases of the game.
There are 104 cards showing 8 different kinds of beans. The
large number printed on each card tells you how many cards Starting

with this kind of bean are in the game.

Playing the Game
The starting player is the first active player. After that, players take turns
going to the left.
Note: Don’t pass the starting player card. It stays with the starting player
for the whole game (see page 10 “The End of the Game”).
When it is your turn, you play through these four phases in order:
1. Plant Bean Cards from Your Hand
2. Turn Over and Trade Bean Cards
3. Plant Turned-over and Traded Bean Cards
4. Draw Bean Cards
5
If you have to plant a kind of bean you don’t have space for, you
must harvest a field first (see page 8 “Harvesting Beans”).
If you don’t have any cards in your hand at the start of phase 1,
skip it and go straight to phase 2.
6
Example #2: No one wants
to trade with Timon, so he
ups his offer: “I’ll give you Trade
the turned-over Soy Bean
and a Chili Bean from my
hand for a Red Bean.”
Note: Only remove beans from your hand once the trade has been
agreed on. Both players have to agree to the trade. This way, you
can avoid discussions about where the card was in your hand after
having taken it out of order too soon!
Put any bean cards you receive in trade next to your bean fields horizontally
for now. Do not add them to your hand!
Example #3: Nina accepts Timon’s offer of the Soy Bean and the Chili Bean
and gives him the desired Red Bean. Timon puts it next to his bean fields
horizontally. Nina does the same with the Soy Bean and the Chili Bean.
Note: As a special form of trade, you can also give another player
bean cards. Players receiving gifts have to agree to take them,
though. If they refuse, you cannot give them the cards.
You may continue trading for as long as you like, even after the turned-
over cards are gone. When you want to stop, tell the other players. This
ends phase 2.
7
Phase 3: Plant Turned-over and Traded Bean Cards
All players who have horizontal cards next to their bean fields now have
to plant them. As the active player, you’ll also have to plant any turned-
over cards you have not traded away. You can plant your new bean cards
in any order you choose.
If you have to plant a kind of bean that doesn’t match the beans
you already have in your fields, you’ll have to harvest a field before
you can plant your new beans (see “Harvesting Beans”).
Phase 4: Draw Bean Cards
End your turn by drawing three cards, one after
the other, from the draw pile. Put them in the
back of your hand, behind the last card, in the
order you draw them. Then, the player to your
left becomes the new active player.
Harvesting Beans
You may harvest beans from your fields at any time during the game,
even when you’re not the active player.
Each kind of bean has its own “beanometer”. This tells you how many
gold coins you get for a given number of beans you harvest.
Note: Some harvests may not earn you any gold coins!

The Stink Bean’s Beanometer Number of Gold coins
beanometer tells you:
If you harvest 1 or 2
Stink Beans, you don’t
get any gold coins. For
3 or 4 Stink Beans, you
earn one gold coin. 5
or 6 Stink Beans earn Number of Bean Cards
you two gold coins, for 7 Stink Beans you get three gold coins, and 8
or more Stink Beans pay out four gold coins. When you harvest beans,
follow these steps:
➊ Count the number of cards in the bean field you want to harvest.
➋ Check the top card’s beanometer. ➌ Turn over as many of those cards
as you get gold coins (according to the beanometer) so that their coin
sides show. ➍ Put these cards on your coin pile. ➎ Put the remaining
cards from your field face-up on the discard pile. ➏ After you harvest,
the field must be empty—you cannot harvest only part of a field.
Example #5: Keno
has 3 Chili Beans in
one of his fields. The
Chili Bean’s beano-
meter tells him that
these three beans are
worth 1 gold coin. Gold coins Discard Draw pile
Keno turns one card pile
over to its coin side
and puts it on his coin
pile. Then, he puts the
remaining two Chili Beans on the discard pile.
The Bean Protection Rule
If there is only one bean
card in one of your fields,
you cannot harvest it as
✔ ✔ ✔ ✘✘ long as you have another
field containing more
than one bean card.

If The Draw Pile Is Empty
When you draw the last card from the draw pile, re-shuffle the discard
pile. Turn it over and put it back in the center of the table as the new
draw pile.
remove certain types of beans from the deck. The number of available bean
fields also depends on the number of players.
Beans in Play
Based on the number of players, remove the following types of beans
and put the cards back into the box:
3 players : Cocoa Beans
4-5 players : Coffee Beans
6-7 players : Cocoa and Garden Beans
10
Number of Bean Fields
If there are three players, turn over your bean field mats so the side with
three bean fields shows.
If there are four to seven
players, use the side of the
bean field mats showing
two bean fields.

Harvesting Beans
The Field Beans‘ beanometers are different
from those of the other types of beans. If
you harvest a field with two Field Beans, you
get a third bean field: Turn over your bean

shows. Put the harvested Field Beans on the

Phase 0: Use Offered Bean Cards
If there are still beans on the table from your opponent’s Phase 3, you
must decide: Either plant the cards of one bean type in your field or put
them on the discard pile. Make this decision for each bean type on the
table in the order of your choice. If you decide to plant a bean type, you
must take all beans of that type from the table and plant them in the
same bean field.
Phase 1: Plant Bean Cards from Your Hand
You must plant the first bean in your hand, then you may choose to plant
the next one. In addition, you may discard any one of your hand cards,
face-up, at any point during Phase 1.
Phase 2: Turn Over Bean Cards
Draw the top three cards of the draw pile and place them on the table
face up. If you draw two or more beans of the same type, group them
together. Then, if the top card of the discard pile matches one of the
bean types already on the table, put it with the cards you’ve already
revealed, and repeat until a bean type comes up that’s not on the table
yet. Once this happens, the phase ends.
Phase 3: Plant or Offer Turned-over Bean Cards
Choose which turned-over cards you want to plant yourself and which
ones you’d rather leave for the other player. If you pick beans of the
same type, you have to plant all of them in the same field or leave them
all for the other player.
Phase 4: Draw Bean Cards
End your turn by drawing two cards, one after the other, from the draw
pile. Put them in the back of your hand, behind the last card, in the order
you draw them. Then, the other player becomes the new active player.
Harvesting Beans
Unlike in the base game, you can only harvest your beans when you’re
the active player.
13
The AMIGO Bean Coin (for 3–5 Players)
You can use the AMIGO Bean Coin in the Bohnanza base game. Follow
the usual rules, with these exceptions:
Setup
Give the AMIGO Bean Coin to the player on the right of the starting player.
14
Phase 4: Draw Bean Cards
If the cards in all of your fields together are worth less than one coin, draw
only two cards instead of the usual three from the draw pile. If you’re in
possession of the AMIGO Bean Coin, you always draw four cards from the
draw pile, regardless of your beans’ worth, and put them in the back of
your hand.
