Description

In Viticulture, the players find themselves in the roles of people in rustic, pre-modern Tuscany who have inherited meager vineyards. They have a few plots of land, an old crushpad, a tiny cellar, and three workers. They each have a dream of being the first to call their winery a true success.

The players are in the position of determining how they want to allocate their workers throughout the year. Every season is different on a vineyard, so the workers have different tasks they can take care of in the summer and winter. There's competition over those tasks, and often the first worker to get to the job has an advantage over subsequent workers.

Fortunately for the players, people love to visit wineries, and it just so happens that many of those visitors are willing to help out around the vineyard when they visit as long as you assign a worker to take care of them. Their visits (in the form of cards) are brief but can be very helpful.

Using those workers and visitors, players can expand their vineyards by building structures, planting vines (vine cards), and filling wine orders (wine order cards). Players work towards the goal of running the most successful winery in Tuscany.

Quotes (from this video)
  • And I love that we talk about everything but games when we start the show that makes me so happy not talking about games just talking about everything else
  • And then when we finished we felt that great shame and the pain in the belly and it was wonderful.
  • Overall topic that I was thinking about today. So, I had game night this past Wednesday.
  • And I realized as I was teaching Orton's story that I I really appreciate and I really love expansions that seamlessly integrate with the core game so that you can teach it to anyone
  • Should we call those plug-and-play expansions? They seem like they're plug and play.
  • On the surface, you think you're bringing in just a new character, same rule set. Uh, you play the game the same. the the turn order is exact exactly the same, but it gets a little complicated when you're bringing in new characters to Dice Throne
  • But it is it is nice when a game already works pretty darn well and you're just adding more cards in there and more tiles.
  • And I think it's worth if you're if you're a designer or a publisher uh listening, I think there's there's value in that.
  • So, the board game designer you'd most like to collaborate with and haven't had a chance to collaborate with.
  • Um, but I think I have to go with Vantage because Vantage is kind of the culmination of some of the things that I've talked about here. It was it's the most passion project of all of my passion projects.
  • If your body could magically handle playing hockey right now and you had the chance to play hockey for a year and just go and and travel and do that and all the things that come with it, would you would you choose to do that at this point in your life?
  • Of all the podcasts that you've hosted, not been a guest on or listened to, but of all the podcasts that you've hosted on a weekly basis that have lasted for more than 60 episodes, who's your favorite co-host?

Quotes (from this video)
  • Basically, I think this is the third maybe fourth. I think it's the fourth time I've done a top 10 overrated games list, hence more. And I called it you have been warned.
  • But actually, surprisingly, despite somebody sharing it on Facebook, which I was not happy about really, cuz I mean I I don't know. I I like my content being shared on Facebook and I do say do it, but that list is a dangerous one to put on Facebook because, you know, we do have this problem in the hobby of toxic positivity.
  • No, shut off. It is really is not. I'm doing it because I enjoy it.
  • There's certainly examples of this you see in real life and it's just gez, how closed is your bubble that you have to think that that argument still works?
  • Do not be misled thinking that you look at this game and it's going to be a charming little farming game. It is everything but.
  • This game isn't really a game about cultivating roses. This is a game about debt management.
  • This game is multiplayer solitaire through and through.
  • This is a solo puzzle.
  • Hated this.
  • The hobby has become very elitist and very clicky.
  • Shame on you if you do it.
  • If you are done with the table and you're not playing something next, then get off the freaking table and let someone else use it. Honestly, it is selfish and irresponsible.
  • If you are the sort of people who leave your games on a table for hours on end just to hog the table and stop anybody else playing on it. And you essentially don't return to the table for hours on end. [...] If you're doing that to gaming tables, then shame on you.
  • For a hobby that is meant to be about, oh, let's be inclusive and let's uh get new people in and stuff like that, it doesn't half do a pretty damn good job of excluding a lot and, you know, being very elitist.
  • It's not a good feeling and it is something that is hurting, you know, conventions in general and I think that's the biggest reason that conventions sometimes don't work.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Awards can set our expectations so high for the game that the game can really do nothing but disappoint us in the end
  • while Game Awards don't influencing my purchasing choices they do influence what is available for me to purchase
  • The actual winners are the board game fans
  • Awards provide at the very best a good footnote a marker in time or just a good jumping-off point for discussion and exploration
  • Awards matter for the reasons that others have highlighted and as you've mentioned they inspire discussion they put games in our mind that might not otherwise have gotten there but perhaps the most valuable thing they do is they force us to consider why do we like the games we do

Quotes (from this video)
  • a draw could be good if the battle was hard fought and deserved winning a close game is always the most satisfying and losing a close one is okay too but having multiple people win seems like a fake conclusion and everyone gets a participation ribbon kind of feel
  • for me it's the journey I enjoy the most not necessarily winning don't get me wrong I love winning but games are about enjoying who I'm with not just the outcome
  • board games are a social hobby I don't play deep strategy games or games that take three or four hours to finish where a clear Champion is really important
  • tiebreakers are absolutely necessary for games just in the sole fact that it will change the way I play the game
  • for me the tiebreakers need to make sense Within the play of the game
  • games that include tie Breakers should have meaningful ways to break ties
  • a tie is like kissing your sister there's just no thrill
  • there needs to be a definitive tie breaker where I just barely barely squeak out a win and I I hold on to that Victory it tastes that much better
  • the more possible points there are to score in a game the rarer it becomes that there will be a tie
  • if you have a very short game and there's a tie well you can easily solve that problem by playing another game of it however if you're playing a lot longer game like an hour or even 2 hours or more more then you're investing so much time and so much energy in that game that I prefer there to be several tiebreakers at the end of that game

  • Meeple Source is running a Kickstarter for painted meeples for viticulture Tuscany they have that running until Sunday at 10 o'clock Eastern by the time this airs you have about a day
  • painted meatball is similar to what they did for scythe they're also doing for viticulture
  • that's five for each color in one Grande worker for each color that's about 45 dollars
  • you can buy that right from meatball sources website
  • I really like that because a lot of my games of Sai they're played with two players sometimes we do end up on opposite ends of the board and interaction is minimal some people like the game like that so I think it might be fun just to see like what more interaction and more I guess possibly combat what that would do to the game so I am really excited to see what this modular board ends up looking
  • seven hex clusters you use for the normal full-size board they're double-sided we will then in total have eight boards you know kind of four they're double-sided
  • I am really excited to see what this modular board ends up looking
  • I thought the modular board news was probably a big interesting piece of this week's live stream
  • I think the smart money is probably on site encounters we keep hearing soon and soon and next week would be soon so or only a few days away at this point just Wednesday and we'll know
  • I think it's gonna be site of encounters but he did talk a lot about the scythe modular board I guess that's a possibility

Quotes (from this video)
  • So i've collected a few board game terms that i'd like to define for you, and none of these individually warrants a full video.
  • So first up is the word "orthogonal."
  • Orthogonal is the other one.
  • So, you get this concept of "orthogonal adjacency."
  • This is just when, uh, the decision space in a game is so complicated - there are so many different things, different levers to pull, and different wazoos to wiz-wang - that you just go into, like, a catatonic state, and you can't make up your mind, and you can't play your turn, and your fellow players get frustrated with you.
  • Meeple.
  • A portmanteau - a mashup of two words = the words "my," and "people."
  • This is a concept where you have a playing card on the table, and it has a power or an ability, and in order to use that ability, to remind you that it is used, you turn it 90 degrees clockwise.
  • And for many many, years board game manufacturers were very... litigation shy, and they didn't want to call the mechanic in their game "tapping,"
  • But around the board game table, people who know games will almost always call that action "tapping."
  • So we have this concept of turn order, which isn't too difficult to understand: the first player goes first, and the second player goes second, and on down through all the players in the game.
  • But in snake order, it goes in turn order, and then it goes in reverse turn order backwards from the player in the lowest rung of the totem pole back up to the top.
  • So it sort of - you know - wends and winds itself like a snake.
  • So I hope that helps! i plan to do a few of these terminology grab-bags in order to just clarify a few terms for newcomers to modern board games, in case you're wondering, or you're reading reviews and you have no idea what people are talking about, you can find the answers hopefully here!
  • For my TAs in the room: if you can think of any of these pieces of terminology that you think would make good entries into this little grab-bag collection, please let me know in the comments below, or you can tell me in person by using that link at the bottom of your screen on the Discord server, where we all hang out and talk about board games every hour of the day!

Quotes (from this video)
  • The first question I have for you this month is how do you feel comfortable buying a game on Kickstarter if you haven't played it?
  • It seems like a gamble. Kickstarter is a lot less like a shop front or a storefront going to a board game shop and buying a game and much more like investing in an idea.
  • My golden rule for Kickstarter is I wouldn't back any game that did not have a copy of the rules PDF available for you to read through.
  • Long flight coming up? What are the best roll and right games small enough to fit on an airplane trade table?
  • How long is too long to allow a retcon in a game?
  • If you could only play mass market games, what games would you play?
  • IP or no IP?
  • I don't really love IPs on games but like everybody in the world if it's the IP that I really like I'm also much more interested in playing a game if it's got an IP that I like.
