Stonemaier Games Viticulture Essential Edition Board Game

I saw this game on Board game Arena... I liked it so much I bought a copy. Fun game with great mechanics. One of my favorites, and it supports up to 6 players. A four player game takes about an hour.

An excellent addition to a collection, whether you're a seasoned board gamer or just getting into the hobby. The game is beautifully designed, the components are exceptional quality, and the rules and icons are easy to understand. As an added bonus, the theme of the game (you run a vineyard) makes it easy to pique the interest of most people. 10/10.

I enjoy playing this game a lot. Every time I play it, my original rating of 10 is confirmed. Basically, a great game of worker placement and hand management. The theme is unique and the components look nice when laid out on the board.Initially, this is a relaxed game which becomes more tense as the game progresses. There are many strategies that you can adopt to win the game. It is highly unpredictable as to which strategy might pay off. It can depend a lot on the cards drawn and which can be …frustrating at times. But overall there is a huge satisfaction at the end and the game can be replayed multiple times without losing it's charm.I have played at 2-5 players and plays out well in all cases. The best in my opinion is with 3-4 players.If you are new to designer strategy games, this may be a little hard to learn, put if you are somewhat familiar with workers and actions, this is one of the best out there.An easy 10 out of 10 board game!

Have played twice and really enjoy the game. Love the glass pieces.

If you love board games this is a must buy. Can be played with only two people or as many as six which was a huge selling point for me. Very fun, not too hard to learn but might be difficult for people not used to learning board game rules.

I wanted another worker placement game and this one has regularly been in the top 100 on quite a few game reviews list for years. So it has staying power and for a reason. It's a fun and challenging little game once you get a few games in. The Tuscany expansion (I don't have it yet) makes an already solid and fun game even better. If you are looking for a good worker placement game and don't mind the theme, you won't go wrong with this one.

It's 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.

We love this game! It's a fun game with a great theme! We have even gotten one of the expansion packs now. Just purchased it as a gift for a friend who likes board games and wine. I'm sure they will love it as much as we do.

Bought this game as a gift for our friends. We tried this out and it was really fun and easy to learn.Would definitely recommend if you like board games like Stone Age and Agricola.

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.
