Ladybohn is an expansion for Bohnanza released in 2002 for 1–5 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Uwe Rosenberg and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Trading.
From designer Uwe Rosenberg comes yet another expansion set for Bohnanza produced by Lookout Games, the third such set in as many years. This edition premiered at Spiel 2002 in Essen, and is limited to 2500 units. In 2007, Amigo released a modified edition, Ladybohn: Manche mögen's heiss!, including some new elements. Ladybohn adds female beans to the mix – female counterparts for seven of the basic Bohnanza bean types, plus a new Schminkbohne (Make-up Bean). The "ladybeans" have somewhat better beanometers than the male versions, and offer better payoffs when you harvest fields with ladybeans on top. The expansion set also includes a small number of new rules. Ladybohn is part of the Bohnanza family of games. Expands Bohnanza
Ladybohn supports 1–5 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 Ladybohn 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 Ladybohn 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.
Ladybohn 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.
