      Game designers do not always take player feedback with the careful ear that Jamey Stegmaier has. This is the 3rd edition of Viticulture and its expansion in just a few years, but they have taken a great game with a few bugs and made an A++ game that needs to be in any serious board gamer's collection. Viticulture Essential Edition is a fine game on its own, but adding the Tuscany Essential Edition expansion makes it one of my favorite games of all time. The Tuscany board truly expands the game, giving you more choices in each season, and making turn order matter so much more than it did before. The game is elegant, fun, thinky, and, to quote Inside The Box, "classy as @#$%".

      In case you somehow don't know, the idea is to run a wine business in Italy. You have some land, some workers, some seed money, and some leads (cards) on how you might want to sell wine and earn victory points. On the surface it looks like your goal is to plant some grape seeds, harvest/squeeze grapes, bottle wine, age it, and sell it. However, that is ONE way to run a wine business. You might want to buy your grapes from other places instead of growing them. You might want to invite guests to come and do wine sampling and run your business on tourism. You might want to bring influential guests to help you compete with others. You might want to sell specific type of wine to a small audience, or you might want to mass produce cheap wine and sell it in a larger market. There are many ways to manage a wine business, and each way MIGHT be the best way for you this time around.

      This equally viable multiple paths to victory is a Stonemaier Games staple that make their games so much more interesting than other types of victory point race games. Because there are so many ways to accumulate points, you cannot ignore what other players are doing. You may have to change up your play as you go, either because someone is blocking you from doing what you want, or possibly because other players are fighting over limited resources and ignoring the low hanging fruit that you can come in and just take (pun intended).

      Viticulture EE would be in my top 50 games, but with the Tuscany EE expansion, it is easily in my top 10. What a world we live in where games like this exist. Say what you will about the strides video games have made. Board games just keep getting better and better. Keep it up Stonemaier.

      If you’re a viticulture fan, this is a must have expansion.

      It adds a new extended board that is broken into 4 seasons. Overall, it adds a few modules to the game that you can use separate or all together. I recommend starting with one and learning it and then adding one and repeat.

      Once I learned them all I haven’t played without them. They add so much depth to your strategy and the game.

      You have the extended board. Four full seasons and a new reputation mechanic.
      You now have some star tokens that you place in regions on the reputation map. They earn you immediate rewards when placed and, possibly, victory points at the end of the game.

      There’s special workers. You can recruit this type of worker for 1 Lira more than the regular price and they have special abilities. When you set up the game you select two out of the deck of workers and place the cards next to the board. Those are the special powers for this game. So it adds variability there.

      Then there’s “structure”. It’s a whole deck of special building cards that you can build on your playmat. These buildings are for your use only and they give you something special that nobody else can do and vice versa.

      Having purchased the base essential edition, I wanted to get expanded product. I was not disappointed, in fact, I think this particular expansion raises the quality of the game enough I don't think I would want to play without it again.
      The new way to when you wake up each season gives more bonuses to players for sleeping in that much more, but means they don't get to make their decisions first. The change in how to select who will be first player is also amazing, giving the bonus to being first player, but next year having to go the year without bonuses.
      If you love this game, get this expansion. It will make your love become an obsession.

      I normally refuse to buy expansions for board games because I figure if a board game isn't good on its own, there's no sense in spending more money on it when there are hundreds of other games I could purchase. I'd heard so many great things about Tuscany, however, I decided to try it out. I have to admit, it turned an enjoyable if somewhat forgettable game into a great game. The components are numerous and of good quality, the rulebook is easy to follow and a snap to get into, especially if you're already familiar with Viticulture gameplay, and it adds several new and interesting decisions to the base game. If you're short on shelf space, with very little finagling everything in the expansion fits into the base game box, which is a nice bonus. I am not going to make a habit of buying the expansions for my board games, but I absolutely do not regret this purchase.

      Adds just enough to change the base game without really changing the base game. Need the base to play this expansion. Expands the board and the people who can help you out. Viticulture is fun and this adds a little more to the game. We play with these additional rules more now than we did the original base game.

      Great expansion to the Essential Edition. I would recommend this for all players, it adds some additional layers to the game, without being too complicated. You can pick and choose which parts to use, if you're playing with someone who's never played Viticulture before, I would just use the new board and the influence section, and skip the special workers and structures. Once everyone's played, I'd say go all in!

      Nonostante le risposte inserite nell'inserzione, alcune con preciso riferimento al venditore dal quale anche io ho acquistato, il gioco NON è in italiano, ma in inglese. Non sarebbe un problema in generale per quanto mi riguarda, ma essendo Tuscany un'espansione, avere metà gioco in italiano e metà in inglese risulta esteticamente molto fastidioso per cui ho dovuto chiedere il reso.

      Esta expansión añade varios elementos al juego a manera de módulos, los cuales pueden ser jugados en conjunto o por separado. Posiblemente el más llamativo es el segundo tablero con dos lados, el cual distribuye las actividades en las cuatro estaciones, a diferencia del juego base que en sí solamente son dos estaciones. Adicionalmente añade un par de acciones que no se incluían anteriormente.

      Otro de los módulos son las estructuras, un nuevo tipo de carta que permite agregar algo más a tu viñedo: estatuas, restaurantes, etc. Éstas podrán darte puntos o la posibilidad de tener acciones a disposición para ampliar tu estrategia.

      Finalmente, el último módulo es el de los trabajadores especiales. En este módulo se toman los peones neutrales y dos cartas aleatorias de trabajadores, y se coloca un peón en cada carta. El jugador podrá entrenar un peón especial con un costo adicional, tomaría el peón correspondiente hombre/mujer según hayan sido acomodados, y podrá utilizarlo teniendo en cuenta que puede sacar ventaja de su habilidad.

      Los módulos no son complejos si los jugadores ya tienen noción del juego base o si conocen la mecánica de colocación de trabajadores. Tengo la impresión que le da un poco más de armonía en el sentido de que cada estación tiene sus propias acciones y no son transitorias como en el juego base. Las estructuras y trabajadores especiales pueden resultar clave para hacer la diferencia en la planeación de una estrategia.
