The Cardboard League is The Sanctum’s monthly open gathering of tabletop enthusiasts devoted to playing the best modern board gaming has to offer.  While we’re not going to limit our options, the afternoon start time is designed to allow time for longer, more complex board games that might be too much for an evening of board gaming.

Date: Saturday, May 18th

Time: 3 pm to ?? (closing time is 10 pm!)

Featured game: Viticulture (register in advance for this game, seating is limited!)

Game description:

In Viticulture, the players find themselves in the roles of people in rustic, pre-modern Tuscany who have inherited meagre vineyards. They have a few plots of land, an old crush pad, a tiny cellar, and three workers. They each have a dream of being the first to call their winery a true success.

The players are in the position of determining how they want to allocate their workers throughout the year. Every 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 get to the job has an advantage over subsequent workers.

Fortunately for the vineyard owners, people love to visit wineries, and it just so happens that many of those visitors are willing to help out around the vineyard when they visit as long as you assign a worker to take care of them. Their visits (in the form of cards) are brief but can be very helpful. Using those workers and visitors, the vineyard owners can expand their vineyards by building structures, planting vines, and filling wine orders, working towards the goal of running the most successful winery in Tuscany.
