Games with the youngest players (or newcomers to the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBohnanza\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euniverse) should use the single beanometer cards with the other cards forming a Taler stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo play, each player gets five cards, which they lay in a face-up row, and a beanfield tile that shows spots for two types of beans. On a turn, a player must plant the first (leftmost) card in one of her fields and she can choose to plant a second. Players try to group cards of the same type in the same field, but they can cover beans of different types, if needed. The player then reveals two cards from the deck and either keeps them or trades them (and cards from her hand, if desired) for cards held by other players; all traded cards must be planted. To end her turn, the player draws three cards and adds them to her row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as a player has the proper number of bean cards\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ein order\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein one of her fields, she harvests them, placing these cards in the discard pile and collecting a Taler from the stack. If those cards covered beans of another type, she can then start building on those beans again. After going through the deck 1-3 times (depending on the number of players), the game ends and whoever has the most Talers wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce players have played\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy First Bohnanza\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea few times, you can swap the single beanometer cards for the double beanometer cards, which now gives players a choice of when to harvest. Subsequently, you can combine the two decks, which introduces the rule about using one of the bean cards to serve as the Taler (which adjusts the quantity of that type of bean in the deck).
