{"product_id":"viticulture-essential-edition","title":"Viticulture Essential edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an archetypal worker placement game on the theme of wine-making, though I came to it a bit late (the original game was published in 2013). Having planted your vines, you may harvest grapes, make wine and sell wine (for victory points) each year. The problem is that you don't have enough workers to do all of this in a single year. Luckily, wine improves with age...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there are all the useful buildings that will improve things: if you can spare the workers to construct them.
