Theme
Elegant
Simple yet with a lot of depth
Great Example of Worker Placement
Wine Making in Tuscany, worker placement mechanics, and so elegantly done, with just enough complexity to make it interesting.
I adore this game, I love wine and this is a nearly perfect game for that theme. You send your workers out to do things, maybe it's planting some vines, upgrading the buildings, picking the grapes, crushing them, or maybe bottling them. But you only have so many of them, unless you hire and train new ones. Also maybe you should give some tours so you can make some money. This is a great game, also good games like this would be Stone Age and Lord of Waterdeep.

Zoe Chase has left behind a steady job at the bank to open a restaurant. While she saves up money to bring it up to code, she is trying to make money selling her biscuit bowls out of her food truck. However, the day she has a fight with one of the competition, he shows up dead in her truck's front seat.

This is my first book by these authors, and I did enjoy it. The pacing was a bit slow at the beginning of the book, but I loved all of the characters. Even Zoe's family, who doesn't get her new career path and are trying to change her, were very entertaining.
