About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a board game sommelier and feel your winery in Vinhos could be operating at an even more professional level, get your glasses ready! The Experts Expansion Pack arrives to provide that master-level upgrade your setup has been craving. Forget the basics; we're talking about bringing elite specialists onto your board, turning your business management into a surgical precision operation.
What actually changes? Well, the pack introduces a variety of new specialists (tiles) that add extra layers of strategy and new ways to optimize your actions. You'll find everything from advertisers and marketers, who can help polish your brand, to more 'shady' figures like spies, who bring a different element of monitoring and competition. There are also meteorologists to help deal with weather uncertainties, sales specialists to ensure your stock doesn't sit idle, and even reviewers to boost your label's prestige.
Each of these new experts offers a distinct utility, allowing you to tailor your strategy to your specific playstyle. Want to focus on land expansion? The Estate Experts are your best friends. Want to dominate public perception? Go with Public Relations. The game remains that classic worker placement and area control experience we all love, but now with many more variables to manage. It's the kind of content that doesn't change the heart of the game but expands its horizons, ensuring every session feels like a fresh management challenge. If you've already mastered the base game and feel the sessions are getting a bit predictable, this pack is the seasoning needed to make your experience much more complex and rewarding.
