About the game
With Bohnedikt, an expansion for Bohnanza first released in 2009 by Lookout Games, players now have two specialized fields in which to plant their beans: The Monastery Garden and "Gottesacker" (or "God's Acre", a colloquial name for a graveyard). The name "Bohnedikt" is derived from Pope Benedikt, and this expansion introduces Bohn-edict cards that can be planted solely in the Monastery Garden. This expansion also has "victim" cards that depict two types of beans. Shuffle the Bohn-edict cards with the regular Bohnanza cards, then deal everyone starting hands. Players then each take one victim card and place it at the back of their hand. Gameplay changes as follows: Bohn-edict cards serve as a joker and can be played onto either of your bean fields, but they have no beanometer, so if you must harvest a field with a Bohn-edict on top, you earn no gold! If a Bohn-edict is flipped during the trading phase, then the rule on the card comes into effect, changing the trading phase solely for that turn. If you have the two bean cards in hand — or in the hand and in trade — that match your victim card, you can discard the victim card and plant both of those beans in your graveyard. You can plant cards in the graveyard only if they match the top card on your graveyard, and when you harvest, you use the beanometer of the graveyard's top card and convert the most recently played cards into coins. The AMIGO version of Bohnedikt features more victim cards than in the Lookout Games version.

Questions and answers
Bohnedikt 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 Bohnedikt is 45–60 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 Bohnedikt 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.
Bohnedikt belongs to these categories: Card Game, Negotiation, and Farming. 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 Bohnedikt are: Uwe Rosenberg and Jochen Steininger. 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 Bohnedikt 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.
