This limited Essen 2005 release (3,000 of these little boxes were produced) is not another expansion for the popular Bohnanza. Rabohnzel is a new stand-alone game, though it is based on Bohnanza's theme. Rabohnzel is basically a re-invention of Bohnanza with a fantasy theme - complete with magic spells - interwoven in the gameplay.
What you get in
Rabohnzel that you don't get in
Bohnanza:
- a long-overdue draw deck depletion counter
- 100% different set of beans, in seven types, most of whom have special powers of some sort
- 11 magic spells the players can learn to bend the rules or abuse their opponents
- the ability to use Sword Beans to "liberate" harvested Princess Beans from your opponents
- plenty of other mischief, and as much more as your lateral thinking abilities allow
- game-critical German text on most of the cards (See Rabohnzel English Card Text.pdf.)
Rabohnzel is part of the Bohnanza family of games.
