About this expansion

Ladybohn is a 2002 expansion for Bohnanza that supports 1-5 players and has a play time of approximately 45 minutes. It adds female beans to the Bohnanza family of games, introducing new possibilities for fields and harvests.

The expansion includes female counterparts for seven of the basic Bohnanza bean types, along with a new Schminkbohne, or Make-up Bean. These ladybeans have somewhat better beanometers than their male versions, giving them a distinctive place in the game.

  • Female counterparts for seven basic bean types
  • A new Schminkbohne, or Make-up Bean
  • Better beanometers for the ladybeans
  • Improved payoffs when fields have ladybeans on top
  • A small number of new rules

Ladybeans offer better payoffs when they are on top of harvested fields, making their position especially important. The result is an expansion that builds on Bohnanza with a focused set of new beans and rules rather than replacing its established foundation.

The original edition of Ladybohn premiered at Spiel 2002 in Essen and was limited to 2,500 units. In 2007, Amigo released a modified edition titled Ladybohn: Manche mögen’s heiss!, which included some new elements.

For players looking to expand their Bohnanza collection, Ladybohn adds a themed group of female bean counterparts, a new bean type, and enhanced rewards connected to ladybeans. It remains part of the broader Bohnanza family and is designed as an expansion to the original game.
