What expansion pack should we buy for this game?

I am a Boy Scout leader and I use Bohnaza as part of Entrepreneur Merit Badge and well as a Family Home Evening board game. Two of my Scouts, Mike Richie (President of Rather Dashing Games) and Grant Wilson (Vice-President of Rather Dashing Games and lead investigator on SyFy's hit paranormal reality show "Ghost Hunters"). I have seven grown childern and thirteen grandchildren, two who play family board games. So for us two expansion packs for Bohnaza in English are a must. The younger grandkids play Red Hot Silly Peppers, an excellent game from Rather Dashing Games and when they are ready for Bohnanza - they join in)..

If you want variety or just a change of pace I recommend purchasing Forbidden Desert as it is similar to Forbidden Island. Our son introduced us to Forbidden Desert first then when we were purchasing a few games we decided to get the Island version. Personally I like Forbidden Desert better than Forbidden Island but it may just come down to personal preference. Go for it!

You need the original game first. The expansion set is just to add on more cards to your base set.

No, Faction Packs add additional factions that are not in the Factions expansion. I think the Factions expansion is a really great addition to your game experience. Your best resource is boardgamegeek to learn about how each expansion or pack changes the game.

Yes. The Base game needed to play the expansion is with it. Its a complete pack.

Each expansion adds new cards to the mix. It's not necessary but I definitely recommend picking up all 3 if you are a fan of the game.

Yes, this is the base game and then once it is installed you can install expansion packs.

I'm not quite sure, since i haven't purchased any if its DLCs, but gamerfaq.com might be of assistance. Hope it helps!

There aren't enough cards in the expansion pack to play with. I recommend you buy the original game and get the expansions as you can.

The game comes with a ton of cards. I ordered the first expansion pack after getting the full game. I plan on ordering them in order(1-5) but it really doesn't matter.

You could potentially get away with buying the expansions. I would buy the base deck for more options though. I have the base, plus two expansions, and want to buy more.

Yes! Power up is great. Gives player powers, and bonuses rolling 3 hearts. Halloween expansion is only ok.

No... You dont need the base game.. You may use the Intrigue as an expansion though

The expansions aren't big enough to play with alone. You need the main game. These are designed to be an add-on

No...the faction expansion is seperate and gives u another colour...the packs just offer a few new cards.I have the base game the faction expansion and the asteroid belt and i feel that gives me enough variety for this game...If u like this game u may also like Euphoria castles of burgundy and roll for the galaxy that have dice mechanics as well.
