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.
