Pickup at Essen Booth: Eagle-Gryphon games, 7-E107


Like fine wine, many of the best things in life get better with age! Combine the early efforts of the immensely talented games designer Vital Lacerda on the classic board game Vinhos; add the inspired new artwork of Ian O'Toole; and polish it all off with the Deluxe Edition production talents of the team at Eagle-Gryphon Games. Et voilà, a new star is born: the 2016 Vinhos Deluxe Edition board game! 

Vinhos Deluxe Edition supports 1 to 4 players and takes 30 to 45 minutes per player to play. This is the English version.

Expand your business by establishing estates in the different regions of Portugal. Wine grown in the Algarve Region (right) increases its value by 1 due the high rate of tourism.

The player board contains your Warehouse (where you can add cellars and age wine), vineyards and wineries (for wine production).

An estate without any vineyards will not produce any wine — not good if you want to be a wine producer! Vineyards can produce either Red or White wine, depending on the tile color.

Each year begins with a weather forecast for the growing season that affects the quality of your wine. You can also hire ecologists and farmers to improve the quality of your wine!

Profit margins for wine producers can be tenuous. You can sell your wines to local Portuguese establishments (such as the Casa de Fados) or export your wine to different countries!

Experts in the wine industry help improve your business. Every few years, the Wine Tasting Fair provides an opportunity for your wine to be judged. Having the best wine increases prestige and impacts your success!
