Now that solo modes have become de rigeur for many new board games, with Viticulture being a huge influence, it'd be interesting to see a 3 minute survey of various solo modes in games (comparing Viticulture/Scythe/Anachrony bot based modes to mission-based modes to cooperative-solos like Pandemic and Spirit Island).

If i have a personal negative about this game, it is that it is quite safe. I can see how that makes it hugely appealing and very marketable and popular. But I found myself wishing it was a little more cut-throat or challenging at times. Weirdly, the first 3 or 4 turns i thought you had to get the wine orders exact. So was really digging the timing challenges. when I found out that wasn't the case. The game got way less intense :)

This is definitely a game i recommend, and will play again. But it's not one I personally will seek to own. One of my best friends, who's copy this is, owns it, and thats fine.
