It’s a good time to be a bean farmer…

Once again, Rio Grande Games has unleashed a new newsletter upon the world. As always, there are quite a few interesting new German titles on the way, but the highlight appears to be more information on a pair of new expansions for Bohnanza, probably the best bean-farming card game ever. Bohnaparte adds a military conquest angle to the game, while High Bohn Plus adds buildings for sale, new point-scoring opportunities and a pair of new bean types. Of course, if beans aren’t your thing, there are some other titles to look forward to, including Goldbräu, a board game dealing with the economics of breweries and beer gardens, and a mysterious new stand-alone Carcassonne variation.
