Immerse yourself in a new Viticulture experience with the Bordeaux expansion, an alternative board that profoundly transforms the pace of the base game. In this revisited version, players navigate a system structured into four complete seasons, offering more decisions, control, and interactions. Without changing the essence of Viticulture, this expansion modernizes action management, streamlines games, and enriches strategic possibilities. Ideal for regular players, it brings a new dynamic while retaining the iconic viticulture universe.
How to play the Bordeaux expansion?
Game Setup
Install the Bordeaux board in place of the main Viticulture board. Each player keeps their vineyard, cards, and usual components. The setup also includes new action spaces, a revised wake-up track, and spots allowing players to choose from several visible cards.
Gameplay outline
- The game now takes place over four full seasons of worker placement. Each season offers specific actions for planting vines, harvesting grapes, producing wine, or selling products.
- The board introduces several important new features. Players can access visible cards to reduce randomness, use a trade market to exchange resources, and unlock permanent upgrades through certain advanced actions. The wake-up system has also been redesigned to provide different bonuses depending on the choices made.
- Every decision takes on increased importance, as the four-season structure increases opportunities for planning and blocking between players.
Win/Loss Condition
The victory condition remains identical to the base game. The game ends when a player reaches the defined victory point threshold. Points are obtained through wine production, completed objectives, and various resource conversions at the end of the game.
