About the game
Note: Not to be confused with Bohnaparte: Liberté! Egalité! Bohnité!, the Amigo version of the same game which has more cards and markers as well as other minor differences. Bohnaparte conquers the Bohnreich! The fourth Bohnanza expansion from Lookout Games (in a limited sales edition of 2500 pieces) puts you in the Bohnreich! Plantations, villages, cities, fortresses -- and 3 to 5 generals, who want to bring these under their control. The Bohnanza base game is needed. Using new cards in Bohnaparte, the Bohnreich is laid out; each player receives counters of his own color; and play then loosely follows that of normal Bohnanza, with a small difference: earned bean coins are not saved but are used to finance your conquests throughout the Bohnreich. At the end it matters only who has the largest part of the Bohnreich under control. Battling is accomplished using the numbers on the bean cards, which gives new significance to the formerly "weaker" bean types. Designer Hanno Girke describes the expansion set as "Bohnanza meets Risk". Includes 33 cards, 60 game markers, and rules. Graphics by Marcel-Andre Casasola Merkle.

Questions and answers
Bohnaparte 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 Bohnaparte is 90 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 Bohnaparte for ages 12 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.
Bohnaparte has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Bohnaparte belongs to these categories: Card Game, Territory Building, and Napoleonic. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Trading. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Bohnaparte are: Uwe Rosenberg and Hanno Girke. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Bohnaparte as an expansion for Bohnanza. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Bohnanza to use it. Check that your edition of Bohnanza is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
