Viticulture: Bordeaux Expansion

Players switch the setting from the original vineyard to a new Bordeaux board that uses a full four-season worker-placement cycle. The board grants a starting boost, a richer wake-up chart of benefits, and an “expert” action that permanently upgrades one of a player’s actions. Existing actions receive adjustments and a trade market is added; vine and wine order cards are drawn face-up for visible drafting. Grapes, wine, and coins convert into victory points at game end. The expansion integrates with most other modules but requires the base game to play.

    Maybe we are not used to the new Experts mechanic but it felt totally useless. I easily won without experts and without buying the 2nd or 3rd field. Nobody seemed to care about experts, their bonus actions were just not worth spending a worker to place them. We have also never used the new market grid. Totally useless. Stick with Tuscany, a million times better.

    near perfect - only negative is not reserving board space for the buildings draw pile (why not just have the discards off-board??)
