About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! If you loved the original Viticulture and felt like your winery needed a little extra something, the Tuscany expansion is exactly what you've been looking for! It doesn't just expand the rustic world we already adore; it does so in a super cool way: a tiered system that lets you gradually unlock new expansions as you play, kind of like legacy, but on your own terms. Every game can feel unique! This gem adds a ton of new elements to make your gameplay even richer. Think starting resources that make a real difference (yes, asymmetric powers!), visitor cards that push you out of your comfort zone, an expanded board with actions for all four seasons (yes, even winter!), and even special worker meeples. The goal is for you to tell your own story in the world of wine, striving to create the most renowned winery in Tuscany. Get ready to dive even deeper into wine production, with more strategy and more choices. It's an opportunity to upgrade your experience, making everything more profound and offering endless replayability. If you're a fan of Viticulture and want more content, this expansion is a must-have!
