Kannibohne is a board game released in 2006 for 2 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Uwe Rosenberg and its main mechanics are Hand Management and Trading.
Kannibohne is the seventh small-box Bohnanza-themed game or expansion from Lookout Games. Kannibohne brings cannibalism (thematically, if not in game play) to the Bohniverse, as well as new, cannibalistic bean types, such as the Keniabohne. Released at SPIEL 2006 (Essen), this limited print run of 2,500 copies was individually numbered, though there were some extra copies from the production run with a line instead of a number. Kannibohne is part of the Bohnanza family of games, being a stand-alone 2 player game.
Kannibohne supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Kannibohne 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 Kannibohne 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.
Kannibohne has a complexity rating of 2.0 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.
