About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've already dived into the sophisticated world of Vinhos Deluxe Edition and feel there's still more to explore, the Connoisseur Expansion Pack is the upgrade you've been waiting for. This expansion isn't just a minor tweak; it's a robust set of components that expands the scale of your winery operations. The focus here is to provide more depth and space for strategy, introducing new elements that make managing your empire even more complex and rewarding.

What's inside the box? The kit focuses on expanding the game's infrastructure. You get Weather tiles to add that layer of unpredictability every vintner dreads, along with double-sized tiles for Wineries, Vineyards, and Cellars. This means the game's scale grows, allowing the struggle for influence and resource management to reach new dimensions. To top it off, the Ocean Tiles introduce new logistics and export dynamics, expanding your business horizons beyond land borders.

For those who love heavy games (we're talking about a BGG weight above 4), this pack is essential. It maintains the essence of worker placement and area control but injects more variables into the equation. The experience becomes denser, requiring players to plan their phase order and resource allocation with even greater precision. It's the perfect choice for a gaming group that has already mastered the basic rules and wants to test their limits in an even more detailed and competitive wine production simulation. Get your glass ready, because the management just got more professional!
