## What is Viticulture?

You find yourself in rustic, pre-modern Tuscany, where you’ve inherited a meager vineyard. You own a few plots of land, an old crush pad, a tiny cellar, 3 workers…and the dream of owning the best winery in Italy.

Your job is to allocate your workers and helpful visitors to complete various tasks throughout the year. Each season is different on a vineyard, so the workers have different tasks they can take care of in the summer and winter. There’s competition over those tasks, and often the first worker to arrive at each one has an advantage over the rest.

Using those workers and visitors, you can expand your vineyard by building structures, planting vines, and filling wine orders as you work towards the goal of owning the most successful winery in Tuscany.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-06-11, version 34*

Bad implementation of the game. The AI is slow and the expansion that makes the game good costs more than the game itself. Wish I could return this for a refund

### 1/5 — Viticulture game

*2026-05-03*

When I’m skip time of year, my character skips two seasons at once! Bad game. Solve this problem! It solves a lot.

### 5/5 — Has gotten much better

*2026-01-28, version 34*

Initially was frustrated with this app, but it has gotten much better. Really love it with the expansion. Only wish the AI was smarter so I didn’t always win

### 5/5 — Strategy

*2025-12-28, version 33*

I own the board game but haven’t played it often enough to diversify my strategy based on my opening hand. This game mimics everything I want from the original board game plus helps track all of the elements in play and every possible next move. Super well done

### 3/5 — 투스카니 한글 부탁드립니다.

*2025-12-04*

### 2/5 — Game Ending Bugs and Terrible UI

*2025-06-29, version 32*

If you are making a game and at some point the app crashes or times out and your game is not auto saved- why are you making games man?!

I feel like every digidice title I try:
A) terrible UI. No way it was blind tested and they can’t even follow conventions. It’s literally a UX law- make it like other apps so I don’t have to think. You can’t even make a proper CTA (hint: it’s not a custom icon that’s green instead of white).  Please just take a UX course or do some UX law flashcards. 
B) Buggy. I get bugs happen but you can’t have people invest 30-60 minutes in a game and then they never get to finish it. It completely devalues everything your team has done. 

I feel like Digidice almost nails it everyone except these two problems. And they pick the best games to develop so I keep hoping they learned.

### 4/5 — Good w/ Tuscany

*2024-10-26, version 32*

Paid for the app and the Tuscany expansion. It’s not obvious how to get the Tuscany expansion running, and some of the controls are not great, but the game overall is really good

### 4/5 — Gute Umsetzung

*2024-08-31*

Gut umgesetzt und macht Spaß. Im Herbst beim Ernten und Wein machen meiner Meinung nach ein Fehler, da man den Bonus auch erhält ohne auf dem Bonus-Feld zu stehen (somit kann man mehrere Felder ernten oder mehrere Weine keltern obwohl man jeweils nur einmal gedurft hätte). Bitte mal prüfen, Rest ist super

### 5/5 — Great game, great iOS adaptation!

*2024-07-04, version 32*

Love the original boardgame, and this digital adaptation is impressive and fun. I’m really enjoying being able to play a game anywhere and without having to set up all the pieces. I’m really glad to see the Tuscany expansion implemented too, and the music is nice.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-05-29, version 32*

I can’t find anything to complain about with this app. I enjoyed the base version of viticulture and the AI was pretty competitive. The Tuscany expansion is a more open expanded version with a lot more options for workers, buildings and doing stuff. I’m impressed with the amount of implementation that must have gone into every card, worker and building and it all works in the app. Nice one!
