High quality game design
One of the most well-balanced and structured board game, with heavy reliance on strategy. The build quality and graphics are excellent. The board map design could be better, but the overall gameplay has no drawbacks. Although quite complicated with a learning curve, the unique gameplay makes it well worth learning and it flows quite smoothly once you get used to it. Good enough for an evening of family fun. Smart enough to involve a variety of players. And you can make teams if it feels too complicated. For me, it’s good value for money for the quality and uniqueness of gameplay.

A thematic game with beautiful, high-quality components
I've had my eye on the Essential Edition ever since it was released, in 2015. Since I bought it, I have played the physical copy 4 times is solo mode, as well as played a digital version, in online multiplayer. The components for this game are top quality. The board and rulebook have what I believe is a linen finish. The art of actions on the board is an excellent touch. The cards are flexible and durable, and the print is clear. The pieces/tokens have a slight heft to them and the colours are vivid and lasting. The game is essentially a worker placement game, but it has been designed such that the theme, running a vineyard and winery, is strongly supported by the gameplay. I personally enjoy games that have a good theme with integrated mechanics, so this is a shoe-in for me.

Excllent Worker Placement Game
Excellent Quality Board Game and perfect for more than 5 Players. The quality of the Individual board is great, even the small meepel tokens are of good quality. Rule book is easy to read and understand, It wont take more than 20 min to teach anyone this game. Only one negative thing, I found the board game size small. The entire board game should have been Bigger by around 20-30 %. The individual boards could have been bigger if not the main board cause most of the game is played on the individual boards.
