We had the same issue with the hats. Contact Stonemeier under their “Replacement Parts” section and they will send you replacement meeples right away! Apparently there was a misprint with some of the workers.
Such a helpful and interesting take on one of our favorite games! I like the cooperative elements quite a lot. Thanks for the "done well" and "do better!"
Difficult doesn't bother me, the feeling of impossible or "only if I'm extremely lucky" is such a crush to my motivation. No, I don't want it to be EASY, but if it's too difficult I'll look for a more satisfying experience. I don't want to have to be a genius or massive expert just to win a game on easy.
So far, all the groups I've played with feel like it improves Viticulture another level as well. We didn't bring it on our road trip, and I can't wait to play again when we return in Aug. Great video!
A friend and I played the intro scenario "without help" and we won just barely in the final turn. It is definitely a tough game but so fun. If you guys were fighting over spots like that I would suggest talking out what u "want" to do on your turns before starting the year. I look forward to trying more continents in the future and will let you know how it goes. Great video as usual! Look forward to the new space when you move. I was born in Bathurst, new Brunswick but am a Newfie at heart living here my whole life. Much love to you both from "the rock" Newfoundland
Don't know if you saw Jamey Stegmaier's video this morning (7/6), but he talked about the issue of hats falling off the meeples. Apparently the company that make the meeples switched to a different cutting die for 2 out of the 22 Viticulture print runs. Turns out those meeples were slightly smaller than normal. Jamey said that anyone who has this problem can request a replacement set of correct sized meeples. Looks like he's taking care to "do better". 😁
Every time I talk myself out of viticulture, something draws me back in! Great video (love seeing the new table in these videos). I’m a huge fan of SM, wine and coop games, but not worker placement games. The pros seem to outweigh the cons for this one though.
We have the same issue with the hats... ours fell off quite regularly too. We tried to pick up the meeple by the hat, and it came right off... but yes, love this version!! We played a 5 player game for our first time on the introductory level, and we ended up winning, but I thought for sure we were going to lose until that last card was flipped, and that gave us the win.
Now that I’ve been playing Viticulture the last week or so, I NEED that crate so badly. I must have it! You guys da best as always excited to snag some merch. Edit: Jeff - why don’t you like the word crunchy but like thinky?
Thanks for the review. I’m a big fan of viticulture but,like you said, also not always into co-ops. This one might convince me though. Do you happen to have a video on your favorite expansions?
I feel the same way about it being difficult. Although I also feel that solo Viticulture is also difficult in terms of optimization, and it feels along those same lines. Great review!
I wish I liked Viticulture. It's so pretty and bucolic. This might make it better, but it's not something I feel like pursuing as the base game already falls flat for my wife and me. It's ok at higher player counts, but we have yet to find many mid-weight euros that we enjoy one on one. Agricola is about the only one so far. We either go much heavier or much lighter for the most part.
@@rosalind1635 we didn't find anything to draw us into Castles of Burgundy, though I do want to try again as I fee like I must be missing something. We tend towards either Food Chain Magnate/Gaia Project/Lisboa type weight or Dice Throne type weight.
You would think that an introductory scenario would be easier, guiding you into the game. I can only imagine what the hard difficulty level is. I have heard so many talk about how hard this game really is. I think I will pass on this one as I can see my game group getting frustrated and not caring to play it over again and again. Tuscany always goes over well. Thanks.

Oh this is really good to know!! Thank you!

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it Michael!

It’s definitely not impossible, certainly challenging! It’s a fun challenge for sure

Thanks Kyle!! I (Jeff) also grew up in NB!

Awesome!!! We will for sure reach out. Definitely figured it was some weird issue with printing

If you try it out, let us know what you think!

Apparently you can get replacement meeples! There was a printing error in a couple of the print runs. I’d reach out to Stonemaier!
@@FostertheMeeple Yes, I did too! I asked Jamey about it in a recent online chat and he mentioned that, so I ordered a new set.
sounds fantastic! thank you for the review!
Thanks for watching!!

Hahah what a great question. Crunchy always makes me think of food for some reason.
Thanks for the review. I’m a big fan of viticulture but,like you said, also not always into co-ops. This one might convince me though. Do you happen to have a video on your favorite expansions?
We do not!! Might be something to do in the future

Thanks Abram! Good to know we aren’t alone in this haha
Definitely got to get my hands on Viticulture, as I never got the chance to play it. Gonna go with this new coop version.
We enjoy it thoroughly!
I do not even own viticulture yet...but this review has made we want it and Viticulture World.
It’s a good one!
Omg I 1000 Billion Bagillion want this! Especially since I already solo the game a lot
It’s very good!
For the meeple hats, I wonder if loc-tite/blue-tac could help.
It might!
Great video thanks. Wake up Jeff lol
jk Jeff, hope all is well.
I’m awake!

Fair enough! Not everything is gonna hit for everyone. The true beauty of this hobby is there is something for every taste!
Castles of Burgundy maybe? Puerto Rico?

Fair enough!! I will say - while difficult, it was still very enjoyable! But for sure won’t be for every game group.
Add fun tack
