Stonemaier Games Viticulture: Tuscany Expansion Essential Edition, 1-6 Players, Ages 14+, 150 Mins, New Board, Cards, Workers, Multi-colored

Door het nieuwe bord met 4 seizoenen nog leuker dan Viticulture al was. Echt een must have als je Viticulture al leuk vindt.

Nonostante le risposte inserite nell'inserzione, alcune con preciso riferimento al venditore dal quale anche io ho acquistato, il gioco NON è in italiano, ma in inglese. Non sarebbe un problema in generale per quanto mi riguarda, ma essendo Tuscany un'espansione, avere metà gioco in italiano e metà in inglese risulta esteticamente molto fastidioso per cui ho dovuto chiedere il reso.

Good

Game designers do not always take player feedback with the careful ear that Jamey Stegmaier has. This is the 3rd edition of Viticulture and its expansion in just a few years, but they have taken a great game with a few bugs and made an A++ game that needs to be in any serious board gamer's collection. Viticulture Essential Edition is a fine game on its own, but adding the Tuscany Essential Edition expansion makes it one of my favorite games of all time. The Tuscany board truly expands the game, giving you more choices in each season, and making turn order matter so much more than it did before. The game is elegant, fun, thinky, and, to quote Inside The Box, "classy as @#$%". In case you somehow don't know, the idea is to run a wine business in Italy. You have some land, some workers, some seed money, and some leads (cards) on how you might want to sell wine and earn victory points. On the surface it looks like your goal is to plant some grape seeds, harvest/squeeze grapes, bottle wine, age it, and sell it. However, that is ONE way to run a wine business. You might want to buy your grapes from other places instead of growing them. You might want to invite guests to come and do wine sampling and run your business on tourism. You might want to bring influential guests to help you compete with others. You might want to sell specific type of wine to a small audience, or you might want to mass produce cheap wine and sell it in a larger market. There are many ways to manage a wine business, and each way MIGHT be the best way for you this time around. This equally viable multiple paths to victory is a Stonemaier Games staple that make their games so much more interesting than other types of victory point race games. Because there are so many ways to accumulate points, you cannot ignore what other players are doing. You may have to change up your play as you go, either because someone is blocking you from doing what you want, or possibly because other players are fighting over limited resources and ignoring the low hanging fruit that you can come in and just take (pun intended). Viticulture EE would be in my top 50 games, but with the Tuscany EE expansion, it is easily in my top 10. What a world we live in where games like this exist. Say what you will about the strides video games have made. Board games just keep getting better and better. Keep it up Stonemaier.

Si on veut profiter à fond de Viticulture, il faut Tuscany. Attention, il n'y a pas de doublon. Tuscany Essential Edition est un complément de Viticulture Essential Edition (qui contenait déjà des éléments de Tuscany, je sais, on s'y perd un peu..) Bref j'ai testé, je ne pourrai plus rejouer à Viticulture Essential Edition sans Tuscany Essential Edition. La seul chose c'est qu'on ne se sert plus du plateau de Viticulture Essential Edition mais de celui de Tuscany Essential Edition qui ajoute des possibilités d'action. Si vous avez des questions n'hésitez pas ;-)
