The
players take the roles of bean traders and are members of the
famous Bohn Hansa, the union of northern European cities and merchants
involved in the bean trade in the middle ages. The players travel
from Hanse city to Hanse city in wagons filled with valuable beans
to deliver bean orders and to buy more beans. When a player is
in a city and has an order card and the necessary beans to fulfill
the order, he may deliver the beans and collect the value of the
order from the bank. When two or more players are together in
a city, they may trade beans among themselves. Trading beans is
important as it allows players to get rid of unwanted beans and
acquire needed beans. In addition, a player will buy beans in
the city, if they have the kind he wants. From time to time, the
bean supplies will be replenished as described on new harvest
cards. After eight new harvests, the game begins its last round.
After this last round, the game ends and the player with the most
bean thalers (money) is the winner.
