Vinhos: Deluxe Edition

About this board game

Vinhos: Deluxe Edition is a trading and economic game for 1–4 players that follows six years of winemaking in Portugal, with games lasting about 180 minutes. Players develop vineyards, produce quality wines, and compete to become the most successful winemaker.

Each player manages the business of wine making, cultivating vines and choosing the best varieties for their vineyards. Hiring skilled oenologists, taking part in trade fairs, and deciding when to exchange wine for money or victory points are all part of the challenge.

The Deluxe Edition includes the complete content and improved rules of the original Vinhos, along with a new simplified version. Its double-sided board supports both game versions, while double-sided player boards can also be used on either side. A new solo mode is designed for the new game version.

• A ninth wine region and a new estate
• The Farmer, a new character
• A streamlined Fair with new mechanisms
• 18 action tiles replacing the manager’s actions
• 22 multiplier tiles for final scoring
• New art by Ian O’Toole

The revised edition also removes the bank action and the zero initial Vintage tile, optimizes exportation for two players, and simplifies several rules. Players can now buy, hire, sell, or export one or two things during every action, while the limit on experts has been removed and one action has been replaced with another vineyard action.

With its six harvests, evolving vineyards, trade fairs, and focus on wine quality and profit, Vinhos: Deluxe Edition offers a substantial Portuguese winemaking experience in both its full and simplified forms.
