Viticulture for Android

The game is good (but missing the Tuscany expansion), but now it’s frustrating because you’ll miss turns and subsequently lose games online because the app no longer sends notifications. I like this game and I’d like to give it 5 stars, but with the notifications missing now and an inability to adjust how long a player has to respond to a move, I can’t give it more than 3.

It pains me to give this three stars… because viticulture is SUCH an amazing game. But, you know whats ironic about this digital adaptation? For me, one of the high points of the physical game is that Stonemaier made it absolutely gorgeous: quality components, art - it’s seamless. This app is unfortunately pretty clunky. Everything from the font, the menu, the animations, the audio… it’s all kind of clunky. So, I get that’s not all going to change, but here is a couple ideas to improve what this app is built on: 1) Add slider controls for FX and sound separately 2) remove that drop down player turn prompt- why do we have to watch that ever single time? 3) move the AI speed to somewhere where people can find it easier- I can’t believe how hard I had to search for this. the game is practically unplayable until this is sped up- it should be front and center for everyone 4) having to press the check mark to confirm I want to do the next action for EVERY SINGLE THING is so monotonous. Especially when doing actions like creating wines or filling orders. There has to be a more fluid way of getting these actions out. Thanks!

I can’t say enough about how wells this is priced together. The physical version of this game has a great amount of moving pieces, they nailed it. Just brilliant. The gameplay must be thought through, not sure what all the complaints are about; ai speed is adjustable but for new players like myself it is set to allow us to see how the computer plays through a turn. The game even comes with a higher difficulty setting, and allows players to take back a turn if they are not sure whether or not the right choice is being made. Jamie is a brilliant game designer, one of the top in the industry and these guys allowed all his brilliance to show through: so many app developers try to take over the game but this is done correctly.

The latest update not only changed the look, which is better. However! There are way to many bugs that are severely impacting game play. Please fix! Love the game! Examples: - if I have 2 coins and the 1 discount space is available, the game will not allow me to play on the build spot (it is greyed out) even though I would be able to build an available 3 coin structure… -Could not purchase 2 workers in one season (button greyed out) after 1st purchase. -Same visitor card showing up back to back (I play it, next player draws same card and plays it again) -Motivator visitor card does not allow all players an opportunity, if the 1st player declines it stops -Summer volunteer crew visitor card failed to function, even though thumbs up was selected it did not allow for the planting of a vine nor did it go on to other players. UPDATE: increased to 4 stars because of great response from developers.

The layout was the best part it was nice and big especially on the Mobile. Now the update shrunk everything down so I looks like a mobile game now. Another dumb thing, rules state first worker gets the bonus and you have to select it?! Ridiculous.
