Overview

Each player plants beans in 2 or 3 fields and tries tosell them as profitably as possible. When selling beans, a player earns more gold for more beans of the same v ariety. The goal of the game is it to earn the most gold planting, harvesting, and selling beans. Without careful planning, players may be forced to harvest and sell their beans before they are ready and at lo wer prices than they hoped. In fact, sometimes a harvest brings no gold at all.Game components

The bean fields
1st bean field 2nd bean field
The area in fr ont of each player is his
bean farm. Each playerbegins the game with two bean fields in his farm. In each bean field, a player may only plant bean cards of one variety, but may plant as many cards of that variety as he can get. P layers place the cards overlapping each other.
Preparation
Place the 3rd bean field cards in the box. The oldest play er shuffles the
bean cards thoroughly and deals fiv e cards face-down to each player. These are theplayers’ starting hands. The players pick up their hands, keeping the cards in the or der they were dealt.

Note: Players may never change the order of the cards in their hands. Thus, sorting cards by variety or any other means is not allowed. The players must plant car ds in the order they received them. When a player draws ne w cards, he must draw them one at a time and place them behind thelast card in his hand.

Place the remaining bean cards face down (with the gold coin side up) in the middle of the table as a draw deck. Leave room next to the draw deck for a discard pile. The player to the left of the dealer star ts the game.
