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

Finally arrived...whew

Absolutely a must buy if you are new to the world of Viticulture. This is the newest edition that has some of the most popular expansions built into it. You dont need any other expansions to enjoy this world; just this game is enough. However, I also purchased the Tuscany expansion, which has a few more modules to fold into this game. The game works excellent with 1 player (solo) and is even better at 2-player. There is no major competition or blocking or sabotage going on, and there is more than enough for each person to do to focus on their own play style. You can gain points from a variety of ways, and the replayability is fantastic (youll always be starting with different resources, and be going after different orders with different vines and having different visitors come each round). The game is just unreal, the production and design is top notch, the mechanics are superb (you always have a wild card meeple that can also be played at a position that is already claimed) and the theme is just excellent. I cannot recommend this game enough. It is a breeze to set up, and I have purchased a set of metal coins to use instead of the paper coins. The table presentation is just sleek and I cannot praise this game high enough.

After debating for a while and reading reviews, I finally decided to pick up Viticulture: EE. Man, am I glad I did! This game is a great worker-placement game that has a terrific, meaningful theme, plenty of strategic options and depth, and a feeling that is competitive without feeling too cutthroat. Theres a pretty big learning curve at first, especially with all the seasons, choices, and components, but after a video tutorial and playthrough my group and I got over the hump and understood the game. Now, all that complexity upfront is paying dividends with the variety of choices and replayability found in the game. Cant wait to get it to the table again!

Uno de los juegos mejor diseñados y más bonitos que he tenido el placer de jugar. Los materiales son de buena calidad para ser un juego de mesa. Lo recomiendo.

I bought it because it is very highly rated. I ended up not enjoying it that much. It is a long game, we havent gone less than 2 hours with 3-4 players. Then just when youre winery gets going, the game is over.

This is a very solid medium-weight euro-game, with worker placement. The board role selection is tight enough to feel tension, but there are enough options that you can always do productive stuff. Honestly there is a bit too much luck involved to be a perfect game, but its no more swing-y than other popular games.

So annoyed... played this with friends, which I love this game. Opened it up to find cardboard lyrah instead of real coins. Disappointed!

As described. New shrink wrapped game with all pieces included. Fast shipping

Viticulture is one of the best worker placement games I’ve ever played (if not the best). You have to get the essential edition if you are going to get this game. It’s been hand tailored from the base game from non other than Uwe Rosenberg

Fun game. Once you get through the instructions and play it through it is so easy to explain. The game has enough change to never have the same game twice.
