Bohnanza: Erdnuss is a board game released in 2018 for 3–5 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Uwe Rosenberg and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Trading.
In 2018, German publisher AMIGO released a special edition of the Bohnanza base game in a marketing partnership with the food production company ültje that contains six bonus peanut cards. ("Peanut" in German is "Erdnuss".) The game plays as traditional Bohnanza, with players trading cards and planting beans in fields in order to score points. While normally each type of bean must stand on its own in a field, the peanut card can be played on any other type of bean. If a field is harvested with a peanut on top of it, the entire field is worthless (as the peanut thief has been caught in the act). If, however, the peanut is buried between two other beans in that field, then the field is worth one more taler than normal. AMIGO notes that it produced 10,000 copies of this special edition.
Bohnanza: Erdnuss supports 3–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Bohnanza: Erdnuss is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bohnanza: Erdnuss for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
