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

I love this game! Every play is different and it is so interactive! Everyone Ive played with loves it as well. If you like games like Carcassonne or Catan where youre playing pieces on a board, you owe it to yourself to try this just a wonderfully made game

Great game for women and men alike.

Now this game takes some time to get the hang of and it is not one you rush through. Play this when the key is killing time and chilling with friends. I hadnt played many worker placement games before this but I am starting to like the style. Puts more weight on your decisions than luck. I highly recommend this game. Who knew growing grape vines and making wine could be so fun!?

I am absolutely in love with this game. The box came nice and undamaged. Components are complete and I LOVE the smell!

I love this game, it plays well at most player counts (too many players can make the game run too long). It is very strategic and fun and most importantly, it flows very well at two players which is how I play most of the time.

Fantastic game! I got this for my Mom because shes so obsessed with Settlers of Catan but has played it a million times and wanted a change. There are so many pieces and stages that it seems much more complex than it actually is. Once you play through one time, you get the gist of it and can start to strategize. Its super fun and have enough variety that each game is different depending on the hand youre dealt. The rest of my family loved playing it so much they all bought their own copy to have at home!

omg omg omg this game is sooooooooo easy to learn, and as many others have mentioned, it is truly beautiful game with cute little cards and beautiful, easy to follow rule manual. At first, I bought this game being skeptical of how fun it would be but bought it because of good reviews. I am glad I listened, I thought the rules were pretty easy for worker placement game and you know how worker placement games can kinda become similar except it comes down to different art and themes. This one is like that but the theme is soooo well executed, you dont really mind the simple, similar mechanic to other worker placement games. 1 round of game is divided into spring and winter season and in spring you put your workers down to jobs related to spring farming jobs like (plowing or buying seeds, etc. I cant really remember exactly what these actions are called) and in winter you put your workers down to actions like harvesting or making wine). The realistic actions make you think you are an actual farmer trying to plant as many different types of grapes as possible and harvesting them and making them into wine and get the most victory points. I love how the specific actions and seasons reminds you of operating an actual farm!!!!! My favorite game is Castle of Burgundy due to high replayability and just so many things you can do to earn your VP and most importantly it makes you really think your expanding your town. This game is not similar because there arent various ways to earn VP, everyone is doing the same thing, you plant your grape, you harvest them, combine the grapes into wine, but everyone is so focused on doing the same job and trying to have the most successful grape vineyard!!!!! Its great. Love this game!!!! I ask my bf to play this game all the time!!!!! He hates it now because this and CoB is like the only game I ask him to play!!!!!!!!!!! Im gonna ask him again right now after I submit this review

I bought this because I love wine and game playing. None of us had ever played before so we had to learn from the instructions (rather than learn from someone who had played before). It was a little challenging but we plowed through (and found a youtube video or two) and so glad we did. It is a really fun game and we play it all the time now.

This is an amazing and fun game. I highly recommend picking it up. But -- that said -- do not order this without also ordering the Tuscany expansion. These two products should never be apart from one another!

Viticulture is a fantastic worker placement game that I highly recommend to anyone who likes the genre, or is interested in these types of board games.
