Get your palate and your mind ready, because in Vinhos: Deluxe Edition, you step into the shoes of a wine producer in Portugal. The goal is simple on paper but complex in execution: transform grapes into high-quality wines to make a huge profit or achieve glory through victory points. Over six years of harvests, you'll need to manage every detail of your winery, from choosing grape varieties and hiring expert oenologists to participating in trade fairs to prove who dominates the region.
This Deluxe Edition is a true upgrade. Featuring stunning art by Ian O'Toole, the game is not only more beautiful but also more versatile. The biggest highlight is the flexibility: the box includes a double-sided board that allows you to play both the original version (for those who love the raw complexity of a classic Eurogame) and a new simplified version, perfect for those who want to enter the world of viticulture without reading a manual the size of a textbook.
Additionally, the Deluxe Edition expands the possibilities with new regions, the Farmer character, new action and scoring tiles, and the Madeira Island expansion. The color-coded manuals help distinguish common rules from version-specific ones, making it easier for those migrating from the first edition or starting fresh. It's a game of deep economic management, where every investment decision and every expert hire can be the difference between an ordinary wine and a legendary vintage. If you enjoy worker placement games with layers of strategy and want to feel the pressure of managing a profitable business, Vinhos is your go-to choice.

Is the game too hard for beginners?
The original version is quite complex (weight nearly 4 on BGG), but the Deluxe edition solves this by providing a simplified version for those who want to start without the struggle.
How long does a game take?
It varies. It can range from 90 minutes in the simplified version to 3 hours or more in the full version with expansions.
How many people can play?
1 to 4 players. Yes, it includes solo rules for those who want to test strategies alone.
What changes in the Deluxe edition compared to the original?
New art, double-sided board, new regions, the Madeira Island expansion, new characters (like the Farmer), and optimized rules.
Is it a game of luck or strategy?
Pure strategy. Resource management and worker placement are the heart of the game, with very little room for luck.
