Bohnanza: Ladies & Gangsters

About this board game

Bohnanza: Ladies & Gangsters is a 1–5-player English-language compilation of two stand-alone games, with a playing time of about 45 minutes.

Previously available only in German, the compilation brings together Ladybohn: Manche mögen’s heiss! and Al Cabohne. Each title offers a distinct take on the bean-growing world of Bohnanza.

In Ladies, three to five players grow fields using female versions of the beans from Bohnanza. Harvesting choices matter: you earn more money when a lady bean is the top card in a harvested field, but earn nothing when a baby bean is on top. New rules also govern how beans can be reordered on fields.

In Gangsters, one or two players must pay off the Bean Mafia. Each turn, the Bean Mafia takes beans from your fields when they match what the mafia is growing. Matching cards can also be taken when they are drawn, creating a different challenge from the multiplayer game.

• Ladies: a 3–5-player game featuring female and baby beans.
• Gangsters: a solo or two-player game involving the Bean Mafia.
• New beans with irregular beanometers add further variety to Gangsters.

With its two separate games, Bohnanza: Ladies & Gangsters offers both a multiplayer bean-field experience and a one- or two-player mafia challenge. Released in 2015, it is an English-language collection for players looking for additional Bohnanza variations.
