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

Prompt delivery of new games. Very happy

One of the best games to play in a group it takes a couple of games to inderstand it but after that is amazing

Its a heavier game but the rules are manageable. This game is great. What took me so long to buy it? You need to buy this game! And then the coins. And then the expansion, Tuscany. So, put in for some overtime or sell off a child or two. Great fun.

Absolutely incredible game. I love it!!!

This game is beautiful! From the artwork to the many structural pieces to the theme and design. Stonemaier games used a lot of thought and care in designing one of the most unique games I have played. You are running a vineyard in Tuscany and have workers who help you on your farm from Spring through summer, the fall harvest and into winter. From selecting your turn order by a placement of a rooster to deciding if it’s more important to plant grapes or build structures for your farm in the summer, to helpful visitors in summer and winter who offer choices to help further you farm.. and of course harvesting grapes using clear beads that magnify the grape age, and then processing those grapes into red, white or blush wine or sparkling wine and filling orders for your vineyard. I don’t think the designers left one thing to chance and everything was thought out and the components are superb and high quality right down to the upside down St.Louis Arch as the”V” for viticulture and on the coins.. I grew in St.Louis and recognized the subtle symbol of Stonemaier’s home town location immediately. This is an amazing game, but it takes time to learn, with excellent descriptive instructions, it can be done- my 11 yr old just beat my husband and I handily and it was his 3rd time playing. I love the artwork, such time and thought went into every aspect of this game. Our first run we played it with a glass of wine and Italian music in the background, someday I’ll get to Tuscany, but for now I have Viticulture!

I like the game concept and the great combinations the random card draws can offer. Solo mode with AUTOMA is very challenging. I think the 4 sets of cards are a little small. And the essentials version board is only one sided..but it plays up to 6 players and easy and intuitive to learn. 5 Stars!

Great game that plays upto six. Really enjoy the mechanics and strategy. Solo version is challenging too. Cant get enough of it right now!

IMHO

Viticulture is the most fun game Ive played with my family. Easy to learn, but fairly deep strategy wise. Scales well from 2-6 players and includes a 1 player version. Quality of the printing and the artwork is top notch.

Our family went to Sonoma for a reunion so I bought this for evening game time. At first, it took over two hours and we were all flumoxed and could not understand the rules. No one could sleep at night as we were going over strategies in our minds. The next day and days following, we were quite hooked and it got very competitive!! I am glad I bought the extra metal coins to go with it. Needless to say, this game will be an essential for all future family reunions!
