Viticulture is a big game about viticulture in Tuscany. 1-6 players try to make clever use of their workers and helpful visitors to plant vines, expand the winery and fulfill customers' orders throughout the year. In addition, there are always visitors who make every game varied. In addition to the basic game, this Essential Edition contains the best elements from the Tuscany expansion and has already been a hit in the USA. - In spring you decide which schedule your workers should follow. (Early appearance gives you an early turn. Late appearance grants bonuses.) - In summer you place workers on the left side of the game board. You plant vines and build structures that improve your winery. In autumn you invite visitors who support your workers. - In winter, you place workers on the right side of the game board to harvest grapes, make wine and fulfill customer requests. - The aim of the game is to get 20 victory points, which put you in the position of a master winemaker. - As soon as one of you reaches this number of points, the current year will be played to the end. After that, the player with the most points wins.
