Deluxifying Viticulture - Metal Coins, Wooden Inserts, Upgraded Meeples, and Expansions!

[@markpalardy6336]

If you haven't tried them yet, there are two mini expansions - Formaggio and Arboriculture. They come packaged together and add additional options to make cheese and harvest food other than grapes (apples, tomatoes, and olive oil). The gameplay is fun, and the cow meeples put it over the top.

Ending these videos with a big reveal showing it all upgraded and stored inside the box at that the end would be amazing!

[@Quackalope]

That’s a great idea - we just didn’t have time on this one!

[@ericfersten2692]

This is great video! I've upgraded many aspects of Viticulture. Scythe is the one game that has the most upgrades in my collection.

[@Quackalope]

Oh, makes sense!

[@sethwinslow]

General thoughts on the video: Total blast. Shira's glee over the wine bottles was infectious. As far as what I'd like to see in this series, I can see it done one of two ways: (1) as an unboxing of the upgrades (which you did here). The pro is that it's a joy to share in your (and Shira's) enthusiasm at seeing the stuff for the first time. BUT... we didn't get to see the insert in action, and we didn't get to see whether/how everything fits. That's important info, especially as I am thinking about buying the bottles. (2) The other way to do these videos is an after-report. Show everything fully assembled and stored and take them out and do a reboxing. This might be more informative, but at the expense of a potential enthusiasm gap. Ideally, both would be best, say maybe splicing a brief reboxing at the end, but I assume from a time-management perspective, it might not be worth it for you. As a final option, do what you did here, and leave a note about the reboxing/storage in the description. I wonder whether that might be the most efficient way to go?

I haven’t had the chance to play Viticulture yet but I enjoyed this video. I hope you do another video once you have the other upgrades your going to get and the insert built, showing an unboxing and reboxing.

[@unlimitedrabbit]

Honestly, I've been avoiding this game for months but I saw enough positive reviews so I decided to give it a try and bought my own copy. Now I can't wrap my head about how I didn't get on this train earlier. It's absolutely delightful to play.

[@unlimitedrabbit]

Official Viticulture wine glasses to have a sip of grape juice or two while playing.

[@inoutsoccer11]

Love the video, makes me want to get some upgrades (or at least paint some minis!). Also, sommelier is basically a professional wine taster and is pronounced like (som-ollie-ehy). Look forward to the next video-have a happy thanksgiving!

[@Quackalope]

Hahaha xD happy thanksgiving!

[@synnarc]

You should get a 3d printer if you're looking to add to your game collection. It's the single best purchase I've made for the hobby.

[@Quackalope]

Maybe one day!

[@Solmead]

What printers would you recommend?

[@Solmead]

Or do you have a resource to look at for getting started?

[@synnarc]

@@Solmead The Ender 3 is an absolutely amazing printer for both new and experienced hobbyists. I own 2 of them!

[@Solmead]

@@synnarc what about the ender 5 versus the ender 3?

[@adamV1P]

Im really interested to see if everything fits with sleeves into the organizer.

[@williamblack6912]

Fancy....fancy indeed...I busted the Budget for the next 3 months on the pledge manager of Voidfall getting everything for Anachrony

[@Quackalope]

Nice xD

[@Trizelz]

@quackalope do you know if your insert works in the wine crate box?

[@Trizelz]

Are the upgraded meeples able to wear the hats in viticulture world?

[@omgwtforz]

Why does this come with a different insert? Is this a new one?

[@barbaramazzocca4605]

Well, It's two years later and I am just thinking about getting this game. I'm a little confused. Is Tuscany its own game, you don't need Viticulture Essential Edition to play or do you need both?

[@Madnetz]

"Weird alternative win conditions" Jesse are you making up speed run categories for boardgames?

[@Quackalope]

XD yep!

[@Madnetz]

@@Quackalope Fantastic, carry on

[@perwesterlund1725]

Did the wooden accessories include "crates" for having the visitor/Contract/grape cards organised on the board itself? I'm just in the process of crafting some myself but figured if it was already available to buy?

[@Trizelz]

Did you ever make these?

[@perwesterlund1725]

@@Trizelz yes, as a matter of fact i did get around to it. I used a small "crate" that they sell strawberries in at the supermarket from time to time, it has some stamps on it which make it look a bit like a transport crate. And a couple of "one time use" chopsticks that you get when ordering asian take away, as support in the corners, and a small divider in the middle. All sawed up into smaller pieces. I'll see if I can arrange a picture if needed. Bear in mind though, mine really look home made. :D

[@Trizelz]

@Per Westerlund homemade is awesome i would love to see it

[@stephenwyda2568]

Would love to see some gameplay! Also, do you think the player boards would benefit from being dual layered?

[@lexta13]

I think this video would benefit from showing everything put together and fitted into the box at the end. The way it is right now, it is a bit unsatisfying.

[@Quackalope]

Absolutely - just ran out of time on this one!

[@robertcricco1512]

Do an upgrade on Twilight imperium!

[@shannimarmen8201]

Love Viticulture but I didnt like the Visit from the Rhine Valley. They are supposed to be played instead of the regular summer and winter visitors.

[@Quackalope]

We haven’t had a chance to play them yet!

[@dbernstein]

@@Quackalope We have both Moor visitors and Visitors from the Rhine Valley and haven't gone back to the original decks + Moor since. Rhine makes the game feel a lot more thematic.
