In this game for up to six players, you’ll be in charge of your own winery, attempting to plant the best grapes, make the best wines, and beat out rival wineries in the area Read More
This is a competitive deal, since it has free USA shipping... if you were to purchase each of these games/expansions individually at the lowest available price online (according to boardgameprices.com), then you would spend $85.47 plus shipping (although many OLGS offer free shipping if you spend at least $100, FYI).
Same question - Tuscany ESSENTIAL edition? Or original edition as pictured?
I assume essential edition as it was just reprinted and the original has been OOP for awhile now...
Please confirm.
3RIPMAVThere is a 0% chance that MD is listing an expansion that has been out of print for years, instead of the revised version of that expansion that's currently in print.
Especially when they've run this drop before and included the revised version.
Just got this today. It is NOT the original Tuscany expansion as the description suggests, it's the Essential Edition.
While I knew it was unlikely to be the original despite the description, it's still disappointing because I wanted the cheese making expansion and the extra meeples. Regardless, this is still definitely false advertising. Whoever is running this had the opportunity to clarify this week's ago when someone asked about it and it's pretty annoying they didn't.
Still a good deal, however.
I’d jump at this if it was free shipping. I’m happy MD is finally doing free shipping, but when there is shipping, it pretty much negates the value, as you only end up saving a dollar or two, literally.
Viticulture EE is a very good, medium weight game that I've enjoyed at every player count I've played. It has a few things from the old version of the Tuscany expansion packed in, such as Mama & Papas cards (asymmetrical starting resources). So new Tuscany is a bit leaner than the old version, since they removed some stuff that I guess nobody liked.
Nothing in Tuscany EE will be in the base Viticulture EE game, so no overlap. The Moor Visitors expansion just fattens the two Visitor decks with some more cards. It is a nice throw in, but not at all essential. Those are also all unique.
Moor Visitors and Tuscany all fit inside the original box. The Tuscany board fills the box nicely, making it flush with the lid. I use small bags to separate the expansion player pieces, since I don't use them every game.
Board Game Geek has a file for cut out "meeple buckets", that you slip in the tray to pull out the player pieces very easily. Otherwise, it is a tight fit, and sort of annoying to get the player pieces out. Highly recommended.
