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

A very fun game with simple rules. Can be played with even just 2 players. I will recommend it from a board gamers perspective.

Great game. Visually attractive. One of our new best games we enjoy as a family.

To be honest it took me two plays through to get to understand the flow of this game. Once it clicked I was hooked. It helps that I am already a huge fine wine fan, so the theme was an natural fit. Add that to the top notch production quality and you have an amazing worker player engine building game. If you like Scythe this earlier title from Stonemier games will delight.

Super fun game! It works well for just two people, and there is enough variety of game play that we spent an entire afternoon immersed in the world of Viticulture. Im a better vintner than my significant other (hereafter S/O), which is certainly a plus.

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

Amazing worker placement game. Has little elements from other games that all mesh together in a very smooth well laid out game, so glad I got this.

I love wine and viticulture, I love euro games but could not get into this one.

Weve played this game almost every day since we got it two weeks ago. Its fairly easy to learn, dont let the many pieces intimidate you - most things are pretty self-explanatory and the rule book does a very good job clearing things up if you just read it. As you can guess there is really high replay value to it, and the rules are easily customizable to make it easier or, in our case, more challenging :p The mom and dad cards were kind of weird but I guess they set up the game more interestingly every time. We havent tried the one-player game with the Automa cards but we plan to soon.

Sorry, but cannot recommend. We like games, but three of us spent 2 hours trying to learn the rules without success. The instructions were extremely confusing. We even found a YouTube video and tried learning that way, which was better, but the game was so complicated it made no sense. A great concept that is just overcomplicated and not fun. I understand a tremendous amount of effort must have gone into creating the game, but the instructions are scattered and random. All three of us are intelligent and patient, and were looking at playing this on Christmas Day. What was most surprising is that all of the other reviews make no mention of the challenge to learn the game. In fact, it was the great reviews that attracted me to buy it. But if 3 college educated adults cant figure this out in 2 hours, something is amiss.

SOOOOO MUCH FUN!
