About the game
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.
