999 Games Boonanza

In this communicative card game, the players trade with their beans and grow them on their fields. Who will steal the best beans from the other players and make the most money? Each player is dealt 5 bean cards and must keep them in their hand in order. In addition, each player has two bean fields. He may grow one type of bean on each of them. On your turn, you must take the first card and you may grow the second card from your hand. Then you turn over two new bean cards, which you can keep or trade. You may also trade cards from your hand. This can be useful, because a bean field is worth more if there are more cards of a kind on it. And if you have to grow a variety that isn't there, you have to sell another. And that may come too soon... However, you can choose once per game to buy an extra bean field for three thalers. The game ends when the stack of bean cards has been played through three times. Whoever has the most money after that wins. Boonanza is a fascinating trading game by the author of Agricola and Le Havre and is highly recommended for fans of, for example, The Settlers of Catan.
