Greengully
Difficulty: Introductory–First Game.
I welcome you to our beautiful continent of Greengully. Over the next 6 years, I challenge you to win international recognition by earning both high reputation (each player reaches 25 VP) and high influence in my royal court (players collectively reach 10 on the influence track). My loyal citizens of Greengully will guide you in your journey. I wish you very good luck, my dear wine makers.
This continent, which is a crossover with the game Charterstone, will guide you through your first game of Viticulture World.
Setup and Rules
- On each event card, a Greengully citizen will introduce a new system or mechanic of Viticulture World.
- Each event card has an action that follows the game's worker placement rules. As with the game board, the rightmost action space can only be used in a 4–6 player game.
- Workers may be placed on these action spaces in summer or winter.
- Because these actions are not on the board, grande workers act as regular workers on these event cards (only place on action spaces).
- Find rectangular innovation tile P and place it next to the game board. This will come in handy when the fourth event card is revealed.
Event Card 1: Innovation
Innovation is the key if you want to succeed. Aim to Innovate at least once each year, but beware that money is tight in Viticulture World, and it's also the primary method of gaining influence. Oval tiles permanently upgrade action spaces and allow any number of workers to be placed on the upgraded action space. Each trained worker placed on an oval tile gains the bonus printed on the tile.
As a gift, I will help you innovate more easily this year.
Gain one oval innovation tile and gain ① (circled-number icon, value 1).
Event Card 2: Seasonal Workers
Each oval tile allows any number of workers to be placed on its action space. However, only a trained worker may gain the bonus shown on the oval tile. Upgrading a worker from seasonal to trained also gives you the flexibility to place the worker in either of the two worker-placement seasons.
As a gift, I will help you train workers (worker icon). Remember, on these special cards, place workers and grande workers alike only on the action space(s); the rightmost space is only available for 4–6 player games.
Train up to 2 workers and gain ② (circled-number icon, value 2).
Event Card 3: More Innovation
Rectangular innovation tiles permanently upgrade their corresponding actions on the game board and enable you to take a more powerful, upgraded version of the base action.
As a gift, I will help you gain a rectangular innovation tile this year.
Gain one rectangular innovation tile; each opponent* gains ① (circled-number icon, value 1).
*During the cooperative play of Viticulture World, the word "opponent" on various cards refers to your fellow players.
Event Card 4: International Awards
Gaining 10 influence is required to win. It is expensive, so filling small wine orders for early residual income helps. Each of the continent decks will provide a unique way to gain some influence, but you will need to gain the remaining influence by placing workers on action P on the board.
Start this year by moving the influence marker to the right by 1 position and placing innovation tile P over action P.
Gain 2 grapes (grape icon) and/or build one structure for free.
Event Card 5: Trading via Grande Workers
In Viticulture World, when you place your grande worker on an action, you can trade items with 1 other player whose worker is also present on the same action. You can give and/or take any 1 of the items as shown in the key on the bottom left of the game board.
As a gift, I will help you trade more easily this year.
Choose an action in the current season where another player has a worker, then gain the benefit of that action as if your grande worker were there (including the option to trade).
Event Card 6: Forever King
As I, your Forever King, lay on my deathbed, I regret that I will not be alive to see the end of your journey. However, whatever the outcome, you are all winners in my eyes. I hope you take the lessons you learned in Greengully and apply them to your future winemaking efforts in distant lands. Even though life as winemakers seems difficult, your early innovations will quickly pay off.
Take up to two different actions on the board from either season; gain bonuses (if any) no matter the type of worker used. Each player gains ③ (circled-number icon, value 3).
Event Card 7: Ending
Your efforts have been noticed!
You can play 1 more full year. After everyone has passed at the end of this year, check the victory conditions.
If you win, you can say you won "with help."
If you lose, that's okay. Give it another try!
