Viticulture

Players take the roles of small Tuscan vintners who manage plots of land, plant vines, harvest grapes and produce wine. Each year is played in seasonal rounds; players place a limited number of workers on action spaces that change between summer and winter and compete for preferred tasks. Visitors arrive as cards that provide one-time benefits when a worker hosts them. Workers and visitors enable building structures, expanding the vineyard, planting vine cards and fulfilling wine order cards to score points.

    At the beginning I was delighted about the mechanism to produce wine. But then these awful random cards. They destroy the whole game. And to play with 5 players is just horrible.
