Stonemaier Games Viticulture Essential Edition Board Game, for 156 months to 9600 months

I love the game. My wife doesnt.

This is a dense boardgame for the first play through, but then it becomes very fluid and easy to play. It’s beautifully drawn, has high quality components, and is pretty cut throat down to the last turn! An excellent boardgame.

Fun game, build your own winery!

Easy to learn, hard to master and win. Great climate - also when supported by a glass of some good wine.

Got the game for my sister and we played it without anybody in the group knowing what it was. Which was a mistake. Definitely research how to play a game before actually trying to play it, the instructions are confusing. After the first game everything made sense and it was much more enjoyable and quicker. Now everybody loves the game

My family plays many games that are extremely long, so we sought this one out as a shorter game we could play together. I initially didnt think this game would appeal to me, but my whole family (adults) enjoy this game. I doubt that it would appeal to kids, being that it does rely on strategy and the setting of the game is a winery. This game takes us about 1-2 hours (depending on how well players think of their moves ahead). We enjoy playing this game.

If you like board games and Vine or wine, just get it !( You wont regret it !!!

A great worker placement game!

It took a little bit for us to learn this game. While learning it our group was taking a more cooperative approach with helping each other try to strategize plays and moves. This continued through the majority of the game until the end when the victory points started to matter the most. Theres a lot that you need to do in order start making wine, from building structures, planting fields, and harvesting the fields. In the beginning of the game there wasnt much point movement because everyone is setting up their winery and preparing. The draw cards always have very helpful perks on them so we discovered it was a good option to draw the cards. Its a very laid back and casual game and a lot of fun. We plan to play it again soon!

Bought this for hubby for Father’s Day to add to his game collection. I didn’t know I would enjoy it so much that I went and bought the expansion pack.
