Review: High quality game design - One of the most well-balanced and structured board game, with heavy reliance on strategy. The build quality and graphics are excellent. The board map design could be better, but the overall gameplay has no drawbacks. Although quite complicated with a learning curve, the unique gameplay makes it well worth learning and it flows quite smoothly once you get used to it. Good enough for an evening of family fun. Smart enough to involve a variety of players. And you can make teams if it feels too complicated. For me, it’s good value for money for the quality and uniqueness of gameplay.
Review: A thematic game with beautiful, high-quality components - I've had my eye on the Essential Edition ever since it was released, in 2015. Since I bought it, I have played the physical copy 4 times is solo mode, as well as played a digital version, in online multiplayer. The components for this game are top quality. The board and rulebook have what I believe is a linen finish. The art of actions on the board is an excellent touch. The cards are flexible and durable, and the print is clear. The pieces/tokens have a slight heft to them and the colours are vivid and lasting. The game is essentially a worker placement game, but it has been designed such that the theme, running a vineyard and winery, is strongly supported by the gameplay. I personally enjoy games that have a good theme with integrated mechanics, so this is a shoe-in for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a one player option?**
A: As has been answered, there absolutely is a one-player variant, and I just wanted to add my piece to this: it is one of the best solo-variants I've ever seen in a game. The designer of the variant is on Board Game Geek and it went through some amazing playtesting - the variant is so simple, yet it seems like it knows what we're thinking or wanting to do. It's got a few levels of difficulty as well, and the solo variant has been lovingly designed and honed by many many fans of Viticulture. I cannot  recommend this game highly enough. One caveat - if you do purchase it, I would recommend purchasing a set of metal coins - I did not get the ones done by Stonemaier, but they are available at Meeplesource. I bought mine on Amazon and they were made for the game Brass (by Eagle Gryphon). Totally completely adds to the fun of this game!

**Q: What types of tokens are needed for this game? ie. gold, stone, food, gems, wood etc? Would the Stonemaier token be useful or a waste?**
A: Here’s what we do. We buy little jewelry gems at HobbyLobby….we buy Ruby red for the red wine, white for the whites, there’s a blush color , and then we buy a sparkly one for the champagne. We use a clear disc for the money marker. We use miniature wine bottles for the player scores. We also use silicon cupcake liners to hold game pieces. We use the cupcake liners for all sorts of games. Blings it all out at a reasonable price. We also used balsa wood to make crates for the cards. This is a frequent game at our house., so worth the effort. Great game for newer players. A bit light for my tastes, but we are gamers.

**Q: Does this version come with the metal coins?**
A: No, this version comes with cardboard coins. The Tuscany Deluxe expansion is the one that comes with the metal coins.

**Q: Is this compatible with Tuscany Expansion (2nd Edition)?**
A: Yes, 2nd ed Tuscany (AKA Tuscany essential edition) was created to work best with viticulture essential ed
