Bohnaparte conquers the Bohnreich! This Bohnanza expansion is a limited sales edition of 2500 pieces. It puts you in the Bohnreich! Plantations, villages, cities, fortresses -- and 3 to 5 generals, who want to bring these under their control.

Using new cards in Bohnaparte, the Bohnreich is laid out; each player receives counters of his own color; and play then loosely follows that of normal Bohnanza, with a small difference: earned bean coins are not saved but are used to finance your conquests throughout the Bohnreich. At the end it matters only who has the largest part of the Bohnreich under control. Battling is accomplished using the numbers on the bean cards, which gives new significance to the formerly "weaker" bean types. Designer Hanno Girke describes the expansion set as "Bohnanza meets Risk".

Note: The base Bohnanza game is required to use this expansion.

Game Clarification:
There is a mistake in the rules. The rules for "Build a Fortress" are not completely translated from the original German. The rules should read:
Build a fortress at any time during his/her turn, a player who owns (occupies) a Quarry (not empty Quarry) may build a Fortress. He/She pays two bean thalers, turns the Quarry card over to the empty Quarry side and takes a Fortress card. He/She places the Fortress card under any landscape card where he/she has one of his/her markers. He/She places the Fortress so that the information lines of the chosen landscape card and the underlying Fortress can both be easily seen. A player can have only one Fortress card under each landscape card. A Fortress increases the defense value of the above landscape card by two points and adds to the normal attributes of the chosen landscape card. Once chosen, the fortress location cannot be changed, even when the owner of the cards changes. The Fortress scores they owning player one additional victory point at game end.
