Bohnanza: Bohnaparte & High Bohn consists of two Bohnanza expansions that were previously released separately by Rio Grande Games.
With Bohnaparte, players get to conquer the Bohnreich, territory created with new cards included in this expansion! Each player receives counters of his own color, and play then loosely follows that of normal Bohnanza, with an important difference: Earned bean coins are not saved but are used to finance your conquests throughout the Bohnreich. In the end, the only thing that matters is who has the largest part of the Bohnreich under control. Battling is accomplished using the numbers on the bean cards, which gives new significance to the formerly "weaker" bean types. Designer Hanno Girke describes the expansion set as "Bohnanza meets Risk".
High Bohn Plus contains new game variants and two new bean types, the Cognac bean and the Field bean. With High Bohn, the players may spend their thalers on buildings located in Virginia City. These building have attributes that give the players new tactics for winning. The Plus part of this expansion adds Field Beans (for 4-5 players) that can be harvested for a third field and Order cards (for 3-7 players) that allow players to earn extra thalers when they can fill very specific orders.

Gib Gas! is a card game in the new "Carrera Tabletop Games" series by Austrian publisher Stadlbauer.
Each round all players select one hand card face-down to set the speed for the current track section. The cards are revealed simultaneously. The player with the "best fitting" speed wins the track section (= VP). Players that have played the same speed collide and cannot win that track section.
If players collide they have to move down with a marker on their card representing the status of their race-car.
Special cards like "Hold Speed" (copy value of last card), "Pitstop" (take played cards to the hand) and "Roll Die" (extremely slow or very fast) expand the possibilities.
The game ends ...
... when the stack of track sections is empty
... when one car is destroyed

The idea of this game is based on the many videos about cats chasing little race cars on slot-race-tracks.
Children are taking different roles each turn:
- The Race driver has to puzzle together race cars in different colors pictured on cardboard tiles. Everytime he does he has to say: "Wrooom!"
- The child playing the car has to roll the cat die as often and fast as possible. Everytime he rolls a cat-face he has to say "Meowww"
- The race coordinator is moving the pieces (race car and cat) on the board. If the cat catches the car or the car reaches the STOP-sign he has to say "Stooop!"
There are variants in the game that make it more challanging:
- Secondary attribute: Race cars puzzled together do have to have the same color. In this variant the secondary attribute (color of stripes & Helmets) has to fit, too.
- The second side of the game board features obstacles (looping, jump) that need special sounds.
The game ends when the first car finishes one round.

Bohnaparte conquers the Bohnreich! The fourth Bohnanza expansion from Lookout Games (in a limited sales edition of 2500 pieces) puts you in the Bohnreich! Plantations, villages, cities, fortresses -- and 3 to 5 generals, who want to bring these under their control.
The Bohnanza base game is needed. Using new cards in Bohnaparte, the Bohnreich is laid out; each player receives counters of his own color; and play then loosely follows that of normal Bohnanza, with a small difference: earned bean coins are not saved but are used to finance your conquests throughout the Bohnreich. At the end it matters only who has the largest part of the Bohnreich under control. Battling is accomplished using the numbers on the bean cards, which gives new significance to the formerly "weaker" bean types. Designer Hanno Girke describes the expansion set as "Bohnanza meets Risk".
Includes 33 cards, 60 game markers, and rules. Graphics by Marcel-Andre Casasola Merkle.
Bohnaparte is part of the Bohnanza family of games.
