Bohnanza? I don’t understand. It’s at least 8 years old. And I thought Canada was slow to get German imports . . .
Here’s a clue for you… Canada’s population: 32 million. Finland’s population: 5 million. There are no markets, thus no imports. It’s that simple.
Besides: it’s not the age of the game that matters, it’s the quality…
