There was no development for the last 3 years, so it may be still listed as alpha, but there is currently no development. So, it feels more like Groundhog Day, waking up every morning and the calendar shows Feb 2nd again and again. And the radio plays „I got you Babe“. It feels like we never reach Christmas Eve. Do not expect snow.

Just discovered this today! Weeeeeeeee!!!

First off, I cannot imagine trying to tackle doing this one here. But wow, really nice job. I don't think there's ever gonna be a perfect way to do this kind of trading online, especially with Bohnanza which is waaaaay more fast-and-loose, wheely-dealy, IMO than Catan or other games. But it was clear enough once we got the hang of it. Full disclosure: we were also on voice chat.

So, only one 3-player game, but I wanted to say two things:

1. It was never not rough the entire game, having the bean fields drop off my screen to make way for the trading "strip." This is information I need to see - LOL, especially my OWN field, more than the other players. If/when we play again, I will try making my screen smaller to see what I can keep on it. But I think it's worth maybe using a smaller trading strip in some form... or maybe a small substitute bean fields image? Dunno. And if something like is is already there and we missed it... that could be :)

2. I was invited, which means I had no access to the game or its set-up, so I'm hoping there's a "don't score scoring" option..? I've been playing this game since it came out in 1997, but this was the first time I couldn't induce someone to trade with me because I was "behind" :P Actually it was also the first time I could say that and know for 100% that it wasn't true :P

Thanks again for all the work done getting this here.
