You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.

Setup

  • Each player gets a vineyard board, their workers including the grande worker, and their structures to build.
  • The score markers start at 0.

How to play

  • A year has four seasons.
  • In spring, choose your spot on the wake-up chart, which sets the turn order and gives a small bonus.
  • In summer and winter, place your workers on actions; the grande worker can take a space that is already occupied.
  • In autumn, each player draws a summer or winter Visitor card.
  • The actions let you plant vines, harvest, make wine and fill wine orders.
  • At the end of the year, wines and grapes age and everyone collects their income.

Scoring

  • Wine orders score points and raise the income at the end of each year.
  • Visitors, actions and some structures also score points.
  • The score track goes down to -5.

End of the game

  • The game ends at the end of the year in which a player reaches 20 points.
  • Tie: most lira, then the highest total value of wine in the cellar.

Frequently asked questions

Does the game stop as soon as someone reaches 20 points?
