About the game
What you do in a play session
In Vino, players dive into the competitive world of Italian viticulture, aiming to become the greatest vineyard owners. The game challenges you to acquire properties throughout Italy, where each vineyard specializes in producing different types of grapes. Money comes in by selling these grapes on the open market, but here's the catch: the market is super dynamic! Grape prices fluctuate according to supply and demand, so selling too much of one type can plummet its value, while a scarcity of another can make it skyrocket. It's a true ballet of commodity speculation, where cunning in manipulating the market is as important as production capacity. The money you earn is used to expand your vineyard empire, and ultimately, whoever owns the most properties dominates the game. Action decisions are made simultaneously, adding an extra layer of tension and bluffing, as you need to anticipate your rivals' moves. Get ready to influence provinces, dominate regions, and prove you're Italy's greatest wine magnate!
