It's the first Stonemaier game (and what a game!) to be released on Board Game Arena (but not the last): Viticulture!
The worldwide-acclaimed game designers Jamey Stegmaier and Alan Stone have reached a milestone in 2013 by releasing a game that is still a huge success among avid gamers for many reasons.
Viticulture is a wonderful worker-placement game.
It is played over a number of rounds until someone has scored at least 20 points. At the end of that round, the player with the most points wins. Easy?
Each player has his own mat which shows his vineyard. There are areas for planting vines, for storing grapes, for ageing wines, etc. There are also a number of structures on your vineyard which help you be more efficient in your actions.
The 4 Seasons to Vivald...win
The main board has two main areas: a summer area and a winter area. Each section of the board has different action spaces.
There are also 4 different decks of cards used in the game: vine cards, order cards, summer visitor cards, and winter visitor cards.
Each round equals a year, and each of the four seasons is played in order… until someone has at least 20 points at the end of a year.
SPRING: this is essentially turn order determination.
In this first phase, players take turns placing their rooster token on any of the 7 turn order slots. The later you end up in turn order, the better type of bonus you will get that year. For instance, if you choose to go first, you do not get a bonus.
Once all players have chosen a unique spot on the chart, the turn order for the rest of the year follows that chart.
SUMMER: In summer, you get to place some/all of your workers to do specific summer actions:
-
Draw a vine card: adds a vine card to your hand.
-
Plant vines: this is how you put vine cards from your hand onto the fields on your player mat.
-
Build structures: spend gold and build things to make your actions better.
-
Give a Tour: get gold from bank.
-
Sell Grapes: get a bit of cash by selling grapes.
-
Play a Summer Visitor Card: Visitor cards have special actions/abilities on them which generally break the standard rules of the game.
FALL: draw a visitor card. You can choose whether it is a Summer or a Winter Visitor card.
WINTER: place the rest of your workers in this phase (the ones you did not play in Summer). The actions are different here, so you have to decide when in the year you need your workers to work.
-
Draw an Order Card: get an order card from the deck.
-
Harvest Field: this is how you get grapes from your vineyard.
-
Crush Grapes: convert already harvested grapes into wine. The better the quality of grapes you use here, the better the starting quality of the wine you produce will be.
-
Fulfill a Wine Order: trade in wines of thee type/quality specified on the card and receive between 2-6 Victory Points.
-
Train a Worker: get an extra worker to use in later rounds of the game.
And then the YEAR END:
In between winter and spring, clean up your area. All of the grapes and the wines age, meaning each moves to the next most valuable space on the chart– as long as you have space for them and capacity to hold that type of wine. All players discard down to 7 cards in their hand (no matter what type) and the start player token moves clockwise. Unless, of course, someone has at least 20 points. If so, the player with the most points wins.
The wine production is a multi-step process, so it could take a play or two to really get into the flow of the game.
Stonemaier offers up a rather simple but deep game that will get you hooked for a long time.
Playable from 2 to 6 players, you can enjoy it for an easy 60-minutes session.

It’s a solid game with many good ideas that you should absolutely try: our players know it as there are already more than 2000 games in progress before this official release!
You will surely be able to find a valuable opponent to learn the game.
We would like to thank the Stonemaier Games team for the authorization to bring the game to Board Game Arena. It's an honor.
Also, our deepest thought goes to bartoleo, our game developer, who did a wonderful job to bring the game here. The port is almost perfect, so don't hesitate to post any feedback with your comments (the more detailed, the more helpful they are).
That's it for our Wednesday Release Time!
Next week, something a bit softer. Or not.

VINOGRADARSTVO: V Stonemaier Veritas, Vine, da cvili za zmago.
To je prva igra Stonemaier (in to kakšna igra!), Objavljena na Board Game Arena (vendar ne zadnja): Vinogradništvo!
Svetovno priznana oblikovalca iger Jamey Stegmaier in Alan Stone sta leta 2013 dosegla mejnik z izdajo igre, ki je iz mnogih razlogov še vedno velik uspeh med navdušenimi igralci.
Vinogradništvo je čudovita igra za zaposlitev.
Igra se več krogov, dokler nekdo ne doseže vsaj 20 točk.
Na koncu tega kroga zmaga igralec z največ točkami.
Enostavno?
Vsak igralec ima svojo preprogo, ki prikazuje njegov vinograd.
Obstajajo površine za sajenje vinske trte, za shranjevanje grozdja, za staranje vin itd.
Na vašem vinogradu je tudi več struktur, ki vam pomagajo biti učinkovitejši pri svojih dejanjih.
The 4 Seasons to Vivald ... zmaga
Glavna plošča ima dve glavni področji: poletno in zimsko območje.
Vsak del plošče ima različne akcijske prostore.
V igri so uporabljeni tudi 4 različni krovi kart: vinske karte, karte za naročanje, poletne in zimske.
Vsak krog je enak letu in vsaka od štirih sezon se igra po vrsti ... dokler nekdo na koncu leta nima vsaj 20 točk.
POMLAD: to je v bistvu določanje vrstnega reda.
V tej prvi fazi igralci izmenično postavljajo svoj petelin žeton na katero koli od 7 igralnih mest.
Ko pozneje končate po vrstnem redu, boste v tem letu dobili boljšo vrsto bonusa.
Če se na primer odločite, da boste šli prvi, ne boste dobili bonusa.
Ko so vsi igralci izbrali edinstveno mesto na lestvici, vrstni red zavojev do konca leta sledi temu grafikonu.
POLETJE: Poleti lahko postavite nekatere / vse svoje delavce, da izvedejo posebne poletne akcije:
- Nariši vinsko karto: na roko doda vinsko karto.
- Sadite trto: tako položite vinske karte iz roke na polja na igralni preprogi.
- Gradite strukture: trošite zlato in gradite stvari, da boste izboljšali svoja dejanja.
- Oglejte si ogled: po banko dobite zlato.
- Prodajajte grozdje: s prodajo grozdja pridobite nekaj denarja.
- Igrajte poletno kartico za obiskovalce: kartice za obiskovalce imajo posebne akcije / sposobnosti, ki običajno kršijo standardna pravila igre.
PADEK: narišite kartico obiskovalca. Izberete lahko, ali gre za poletno ali zimsko vizitko.
ZIMA: v to fazo postavite ostale svoje delavce (tiste, ki jih niste igrali poleti). Tu se dejanja razlikujejo, zato se morate odločiti, kdaj v letu potrebujete delavce za delo.
- Narišite kartico za naročilo: vzemite kartico za naročanje iz krova.
- Trgatev: tako dobite grozdje iz svojega vinograda.
- Zdrobite grozdje: pretvorite že pobrano grozdje v vino. Boljša kakovost grozdja, kot ga uporabljate tukaj, boljša bo začetna kakovost vina, ki ga pridelujete.
- Izpolnite vinsko naročilo: trgujte z vini tiste vrste / kakovosti, ki so navedeni na kartici, in prejmite med 2-6 točkami zmage.
- Usposobite delavca: pridobite dodatnega delavca za uporabo v poznejših krogih igre.
In nato LETO KONEC:
Med zimo in pomladjo počistite svoje območje. Vsa grozdje in vina se starajo, kar pomeni, da se vsak premakne na naslednji najdragocenejši prostor na lestvici - če imate na voljo dovolj prostora zanje in zmogljivosti za shranjevanje te vrste vina. Vsi igralci zavržejo do 7 kart v svoji roki (ne glede na vrsto) in žeton začetnega igralca se premakne v smeri urnega kazalca. Razen seveda, če ima kdo vsaj 20 točk. V tem primeru zmaga igralec z največ točkami.
Pridelava vina je večstopenjski postopek, zato lahko traja igra ali dve, da resnično vstopite v tok igre.
Stonemaier ponuja precej preprosto, a poglobljeno igro, ki vas bo dolgo zasvojila.
Predvaja se od 2 do 6 igralcev, uživate pa lahko v enostavnem 60-minutnem zasedanju.

To je dobra igra z veliko dobrimi idejami, ki bi jo morali vsekakor preizkusiti: naši igralci jo vedo, saj je pred to uradno izdajo že več kot 2000 iger!
Zagotovo boste lahko našli dragocenega nasprotnika za učenje igre.
Zahvaljujemo se ekipi Stonemaier Games za pooblastilo za prenos igre na Board Game Arena. V čast mi je.
Tudi naša najgloblja misel gre na Bartolea, našega razvijalca iger, ki je čudovito opravil, da je igro pripeljal sem. Pristanišče je skoraj popolno, zato ne oklevajte in pošljite povratne informacije s svojimi komentarji (bolj podrobni, bolj koristni so).
To je to za naš srednji čas izdaje!
Naslednji teden nekaj nekoliko mehkejšega. Ali ne.
Uživajte v igri in bodite pozorni, POLETJE je!
Uživajte zmerno. Moderatorska ekipa ni vključena.
