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

Played this with friends that moved and took the game with them... I missed it sooo much, yeah I bought myself a copy!!

Viticulture Essential Edition game is perfect.

Very complex and somewhat confusing. We play Waterdeep and StoneAge and other pretty complex strategy games but this one seems disjointed and more difficult to grasp. Our son who is 30 thinks its great. ??????

One of my favorite games

Simply put....one of the best Euro-Style, Worker Placement games to come along in years. And it has a great theme.

Incredible game. Love the game mechanics of having your own game objectives but also love the conflict of conflicting opponents objectives. If you appreciate well thought out game mechanics, you will love this game! Introduced this game to several friends and each continually wants to play the game again at another time!

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

Loved it.

I’ve found the easiest way to explain this game to a newbie is start at the end and go backwards. Fantastic game though and well worth having in your collection.

Best Game ever!!! This game is so much fun, and not to over the top for strategy games. The object of the game is to grow vines, harvest, create wine and sell it. My roommates and I play this game once a week while we sit back and drink wine ourselves.
