(And, as I said, the "anticlimactic" criticism also applies to Power Grid, and really, most other race games.)<br /><br />That's good to know. Each game I've played has had at least one inexperienced player, so maybe it will go down over time. I hope so, as I'd love more opportunities to play.FarmerLennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809519427712934619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046699676074993791.post-6556088978479733412013-07-31T10:15:25.894-05:002013-07-31T10:15:25.894-05:00Thank you all so much for reviewing Viticulture!

Fortunately I've found that the grande worker almost completely fixes that issue, making the final year tense until the last worker is placed. The grande worker will be easily attainable when I run the Kickstarter for the expansion pack and second edition in 2014.<br /><br />As for the length of the game, what I've seen from experienced players is that it takes 20 minutes per player. However, if you have even one inexperienced player, that can add quite a bit of time. One of the interesting challenges for me with the expansion pack is to try to maintain that 20 minute/player ratio while adding more/different stuff to do. We'll see how that works out. :)Jamey Stegmaierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391877064937316343noreply@blogger.com
