Today we discuss Viticulture Essential Edition by Stonemaier Games, a worker placement and hand management game for the wine aficionados. After inheriting a vineyard in pre-modern Tuscany; you take it upon yourself to make into a success. You’ll start the game off with some empty plots of land, an old crushpad, a tiny cellar and three workers. From there you’ll have to plan every season carefully allocating your workers to: harvest grapes, oversee curious tourists, assist talented contractors, train new employees and fulfil the most profitable contracts in order to earn the title of the best winery in Tuscany.
