Vignobles (2017)

About this game

You have just set up as a wine merchant in the best wine-growing regions in South-West France. Your idea is to make the most of ancestral grape varieties, finding just the right blend to produce a wide range of truly outstanding and characterful wines! Vignobles is a game of hand management and race to create the most successful vineyard and outsmarting your opponents by correctly using available actions and special cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
