With the Pirates expansion, Bohnanza goes to sea. With basic Bohnanza, when players harvested
beans they immediately sold them for gold coins. With Pirates, players may load their harvested
beans onto ships which will deliver them to other markets for higher profits. However, there are
pirates on the sea and they lie in wait in their pirate ships to capture the cargoes of merchant ships
carrying beans.
Pirates must be played with the Bohnanza basic game as this has the components necessary for up to
seven players. Except for changes to the rules described herein, the game is played the same as basic
Bohnanza.
Before combining the bean cards from the basic game and Pirates, remove the cards shown below
based on the number of players in the game.
Each player takes a merchant ship and a harbor card of the same color
and places these in her play area (the space before her on the table).
The harbor cards are the storage places for the gold coins the players
earn during the game.
For each player, place the second merchant ship in her color, the pirate
ship in her color (the flag on the mast), and a 3rd bean field to the side
on the table. Place all other merchant ships, pirate ships, and 3rd bean
fields back in the box.
