However, 19 of the 33 cards have special action text. If one of those cards is the topmost bean in your field during the appropriate phase, you may use its special action. There is no equivalent of the Bohnenmafia, and score is kept on paper, making this the first game in the family to keep all the cards in circulation. Bean frequencies range from 4 to 7.

2010 Bohnanza Fun & Easy is a streamlined, standalone version of Bohnanza, which trims the fat from the original game:
- New bean illustrations for all the beans.
- Stink beans (4) have been added.
- You always have three bean fields.
- The turn is simplified to three phases: plant, trade, draw
- The trading no longer requires players to set aside the beans until the end of the phase. Plant 'em as you get 'em.
- The face-up beans for trading are there the whole game, as the bean market, with three beans.
- You needn't plant beans from the middle of the table (now the bean market): Just leave them there.
- There is no longer a restriction on harvesting single-bean fields when there are other more mature fields (the single most confusing Bohnanza rule for new players).
- The game ends immediately after two times through the deck.
