Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action Card Play — Some cards provide immediate actions or ongoing bonuses when produced, offering alternative strategies beyond just pairing gourmet items.
- Aging/Time Track — Produced wines and cheeses age over time, affecting their value and bonuses when sold. Controlling the aging rate is important for maximizing points.
- contract fulfillment — Players aim to produce and sell specific cheese and wine recipes to earn points and bonuses.
- Resource Management — Resources are multi-use, serving as ingredients for recipes, components for special powers, or convertible into other resources at a penalty. Managing perishable resources like milk and grapes is crucial.
- Set Collection — Players collect specific combinations of resources (like milk, grapes, salt, yeast, cultures) to fulfill recipe cards for cheese and wine.
- Worker Placement — Players deploy workers to action spaces to gather resources, produce goods, and perform other actions. The placement of workers is highly strategic, influencing both the player's and opponent's turns.

Quotes (from this video)
- This goes so above and beyond uh in that regard that it feels more like a war game in terms of everything you are having to consider with every single turn as you work your way through all these plot out stages over two years of harvesting and producing wine and cheese.
- I cannot stress enough folks, if you like a nice midweight euro, don't go for this game. If you love the crunchiest, heaviest games imaginable.
- I honestly honestly this game makes me think feel more like I'm playing go than anything short of go because of the depth that goes into the decision of every single worker you are going to place out there.
- It's mindboggling. I don't think I have ever played a two-playeron game that is as heavy and crunchy as this.
- Sadly, it's not for me. I will not say that this I mean for some people they will say this is Scott Alm's great sign.
