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. Features: • 1 to 6 players • Family friendly – non violent theme • Cross Platform • Easy tutorial to learn the game from scratch. • Single-player mode with 3 challenging levels of computer opponents. • Multiplayer games against your friends in friendly games. • Face players from all over the world in ranked multiplayer games online! • Worlwide leaderboard • Take your time in asynchronous game mode with push notifications and never miss a turn. • Analyze your best games or learn tricks from the best with playback • Uses the newest rules of the board game.

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
- rhizomorphism · v34
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

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.

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.

I encountered a bug that essentially destroyed my chance of competing in the game. You can have at most 5 workers and you need all 5 to have a chance. There are 2 special workers you can train, one of those is a Merchant. He has the power to take an action in a season that has already passed. With the latest update they curtailed his power a lot, but he is still very useful. I am in a game where I could not play my Merchant. I tried all the remedies in the in game help faqs and in the community help all to no avail. That puts me down one worker and puts me out of the game. So I filed a bug report and got no response. Meanwhile my opponents are complaining to me that I'm not taking my turn. So I took an action which works in ever other game I have tried it with, and I have tried it with around 10-15 different games. I deleted and reinstalled the app. It came back and lost my game... sort of. I am only in one game and the main screen can't find it but the menu on the side sees it. When i do the refresh selection, the main screen comes up with no games found but the menu on the right side pops up with a yellow one indicating that it found one game. So at least one programmer did his/her job correctly. I sent in another bug report but again I got no response. Sigh. Please fix this bug, it is a game killer.

This is a great app. I bought the game in December for my friends and we only played twice. Once I played the app I couldn’t play the board game again. Luckily all my friends have IPads and we play on that whether we are together or not. We actually play mostly at our own homes. The Tuscany version is fun. We are addicted. I hope you guys add the Moors Visitors in the future.
- Jahquari007 · v30
This app is beautiful, and the music is great. It’s viticulture on iOS. What’s wrong with it is that if you buy this to play board games with others, then AVOID this app! Unless you finish a whole game in a single sitting, it won’t let you actually complete your turn. With this typically being a longer game, I specifically use the apps to be able to play at my own convenience but not with this app. Also the UI is very clunky and not organized well. Most things even on the Home Screen only have icons and no words. Overall the only good of this app comes from the game and the music. The music isn’t needed, and the game is just viticulture. The app fails to provide any of the benefits a board game app usually provides
- JoelAndrew94 · v28
AI’s make their moves pretty fast now, at least on our 3 year old iPads. Very rare to see a bug. Love the intricacies of various strategies available in the game. Tactics are important, but luck can occasionally be a big factor in who wins.
- GaxTheGamer · v14
I don’t know why 7/10 digital board game adaptions have horrendous UI, but it persists. Presumably, because it isn’t always intuitive to transform a physical 3D interaction into a 2D one. That’s where developers need to invest time in creating their own elegant solutions to bring the game designers concept to life on a digital platform. I feel that DIGIDICED hit the mark better than many digital board game ports, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. It shouldn’t take a veteran Viticulture player nearly as long as it does to intuit the game flow! Otherwise I love this.
- Anon5832 · v14
This app is a collection of what not to do when porting a board game. First, the AI is painfully slow and obstreperous. Not only is it slow, it gets in the way. It would be one thing to wait on the AI (which, by the way, is brutally difficult, even on easy) while checking your own cards and your engine. But you are prevented from even seeing what card you just drew until every single AI opponent is done futzing about. The AI is incredibly difficult to beat, even on easy. It does this by hogging memory and therefore battery life on your phone. From a full charge, two games will completely deplete the battery on on iPhone 10. The AI also seems to also have a knack for drawing some opportune cards at just the right moment. The game does not let you pause or take a break. If you navigate away from the app and tale a call, send an email, etc, your game will be lost and you will have to start over. There are some weird, beat-style glitches the app has as well. I’ve had it get stuck on the loading screen, gotten a blank tableau, or been cheated out of windmill points when taking a Summer action in the winter to plant vines. I’ll also address an issue with the game mechanics as well: No one at Stonemaier has done anything about the Yoke. It is a useless “building,” taking two moves to make use of it, which is a waste of workers. The yoke should uproot and plant in one move. Even better, it should uproot, replant the old vine if needed, and plant a new vine, and maybe cost a bit more. I absolutely will not play a game where I’m dealt the yoke. Another gameplay problem that the AI takes great advantage of is, you can win without filling wine orders. Instead of filling orders, the AI sells, buys, plants, sells, buys, plays cards, and gets up to 20 points without filling a single order. This is both a gameplay problem, and a problem with the AI using a cheap exploit. This is an ok game made far worse by some terrible programming. Wish I could get my $10 back
- whatnamewouldyoulikeitunes? · v14
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.
- BigKevinMac · v14
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!
- thenmrkid · v12
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.
- srkdavid · v12
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.
- Daconiam · v11
The layout was the best part it was nice and big especially on the iPad. 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.

It was great, if somewhat slow. Now it just crashes. Two updates back to back, and I can’t get past set up.
- 🔢🔢🔢🔢🔢🔢🔢🔢 · v10
Zero stars. Having downloaded the game this evening, I was unable to even finish the tutorials because the game glitched and closed every 2 minutes. I thought perhaps it might just be the tutorial mode, so I tried playing a game, twice. It glitched and closed before I was even able to start. After 7 tries, I’m annoyed and angry that this is so poorly programmed. An absolute waste of my evening.
- mme.ej · v10
Having to set up my single player game from the main menu each time I play is a bad UI. There should be a replay button or at least remember my AI player selections. I also think that I should not have to constantly tap the fast forward button after every turn. Why isn’t there a speed open ion for that in the settings. As for setting, the game exits to the main menu if you try to change setting during a game. It’s not clear how to get back into the game. But aside from some crappy user interface decisions that the developer made, it’s still a fairly good game and the AI seems to play well enough to present a challenge.
- davesquid · v8
I’ll continue trying to play this because I love the physical board game that this is based on but right off the bat the UI feels really amateurish and not well organized. It’s not even clear what the worker placement spots are, like which is which.
- ph349397 · v8
Small things like poor UI choices for actions, music playing when app starts even if I’ve turned it off, and broken notifications (most of the time) hinder what could have been a good implementation of one of my favorite games. The biggest problem? Out of time game ending triggers for casual async play. As far as I can tell this is not configurable.
- CaptCaveman · v7
Great graphics, but the by the time you have tapped the fast forward option you are ready to quit. Love the board game but the random AI makes this a pvp game only.
- DHLV10 · v7
The devs recently made some good improvements to the game (fast forwarding). Interface isn’t perfectly intuitive, but I haven’t run across any major bugs and once you do the tutorial it’s insanely addicting and fast to play. I love this digital version of the game.
- =^.~= · v7
It's good. Sometimes I need to restart the game cause it freezes, but overall all good. Now we need Tuscany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- capoeira1982 · v7
This is one of our favorite games, and porting it to a digital platform is something that we greatly anticipated. The execution of it is 100% loyal to the physical board game. If the Tuscany expansion is developed/released, we will buy it as soon as we are aware of its release. That said — there are frequent complaints with the AI being slow (and setting the AI to "fast" does help with some of that), but I think the problem is deeper than that. When multiple human players are combined with at least one AI player — it will hang up frequently. Occasionally, the AI can be nudged into action by each player force-quitting and restarting. But, we had one game that hung-up and sat for 36 hours(!), eventually causing the AI to forfeit. (This problem only seems to happen with a combination of multiple human players and AIs. It has not occurred with a single human player and multiple AIs.)
- MikeTinVA · v4
I am finding that the game is very pretty, and works pretty quickly on my iPad mini. But, there are a lot of problems with the cards not working as they should, and some of the options don’t work as they should. Makes the game not very enjoyable
- Futuristic frothy · v4
I wish I could give this app a better review because Viticulture is one of my favorite board games. Unfortunately the developers seem to want this game to be as unintuitive as possible to play. I get it, there are a lot of complex decisions you need to make during the game, but the way information is presented is needlessly confusing while also managing to be redundant and super time consuming to play. The amount of times you have to tap and the number of screens you have to go through to take some of the actions in the game is ridiculous. Then on top of that, you have to sit and wait for all other players to take their needlessly long turns with almost no indication of if they’re thinking or fighting with the bad UI of if they’ve already completed their turn and forgot to press the completely unnecessary “my turn is over” button (which if you’ve played the game, you know that once you’ve taken the action for a worker, there is usually nothing more you can do, so why I then have to confirm to this game, which knows I’ve done everything possible on my turn, that yes, I’ve done everything possible on my turn, is completely beyond me). I just played a 5-player game with friends and it took 3.5 hours! That’s insane! The fact that phases like choosing your Mama and Papa or discarding down to 7 cards at the end of a season are done in turn order rather than simultaneously (and you aren’t even able to look at your cards to think while others are making their decisions) means that even some of the quickest parts of the game take forever! There is no reason a digital version should take two or even three as long to play as a physical board game. The only reason is bad design. The games I’ve played vs. one other person or against AI have faired a little better, time-wise, but you still have to sit through animations at the end of the each real or AI player’s turn showing what they did... a feature that would be helpful if these animations gave any context for what was happening, but ultimately end up just adding to the confusion (there also isn’t, as far as I can tell, any way to see exactly what other players did on previous turns—there is a board you can bring up that shows where workers have been placed, but not in what order or what they did/what cards they played/buildings they built/etc.) In the end, I can’t give this only one star because the app does work and I can play a game if viticulture on it. The app has crashed on my numerous times, but my games were always saved so all I lost was a little time (okay, it seemed like a lot, because you have to watch all of the other players’ turn animations again before you can go). And I can play solo against AI players—which is about the only redeeming quality. If you’re planning on playing this with more than one other person though, I’d recommend saving your money.
- CowsRuleWorld13 · v4
I’m surprised the same studio that did the amazing castles of burgundy app also put this out. Castles did a wonderful job of making the experience of playing seamless and intuitive. Viticulture just barely chugs along. Hopefully future updates will fix some of the issues but this was a waste of nine bucks.
- TheSatanDaddy · v4
I enjoyed this app quite a bit, but it definitely was a new experience. I have never had to deal with Analysis Paralysis from an AI opponent before. I would forget what I wanted to do on my next move by the time the computer got half way through its turn. Speed up the AI, And you’ve got your 5* review! Otherwise a great translation of a great board game. Just wondering why you didn’t use the Tuscany board? I have always found it to be superior in every way.
- Widdlewade · v3
I think this would be hard to play if you didn’t already know the game. The UI and turn setup could use some polish and there is a lot of unnecessary turn actions, such as swapping to a player to show the wine aging. Overall, a good start to one of my favorite games. Looking forward to some updates and hopefully, the Tuscany expansion.
- Jhollender · v3
Ugly, game gets rules wrong constantly, buggy.
- Really though? A nickname? · v3
A few bugs: AI is at times slow...sometimes very slow. AI got too many points for the Bottler card. When playing Mentor, the real player didn’t gain the benefit from the AI taking the action of the card. When real player 1 played cards that gave choices to other players, real player 2 didn’t get the chance. The card flashed up on the screen and immediately receded before the choice could be made. I’m sure all will be fixed in time. Great game, and it will be a great app once these small issues are fixed. Hope the Tuscany expansion makes it to the app.
- LordSquash · v3
This is one of my top board games of all time. And the app allows me to play it anytime. So thankful. I don’t find the Aito be too slow. There’s an option to stores it up and it’s sufficiently quick quick enough. Don’t listen to the moaners. Would love to see Tuscany expansion and would gladly pay for it. But happy with what there is. I can’t stop playing my favorite board game. I can’t thank you enough.
- Jawoo · v3
Viticulture is one of my very favorite board games, and I was incredibly psyched to see this app show up. It looks great, but the AI is way, way, way too slow. Even discounting the AI, the animations are too slow. Why do I need to watch the screen reset for each individual grape that I harvest off a field? Why do I need to press a button once to tell the compuer I want to draw a blue card, and then press another button to tell the computer that, yes, I wasn’t kidding, I really do want a blue card? Too slow. I’m taking a break for a while.
- Wtmazer359 · v3
I was really excited to see that Viticulture had come to iOS. However, the implementation is underwhelming, especially as it relates to the AI. The AI takes forever to play its turns, and it’s impossible to figure out what it’s actually doing. It’s usually just a bunch of sub menus popping up on screen, but it’s not clear what they’re trying to indicate. There’s potential here, and at least it didn’t crash, but it needs a lot of polishing.
- VirginiaGamer · v3
It looks great and if everything works well this would be a fabulous game. When playing in games against friends with Ai, the Ai sometimes take over five minutes to make one move. And this is after three updates so far. We must get out of the game fully (both iOS and Android) so the Ai play their turn. It gets frustrating. I have smaller issues with the game too but first let the developer fix this then I’ll bring up the smaller issues.
- GuzChos · v3
The UI is sufficient to play but definitely lacks polish. Certainly a good start, but I hope they add more incremental undo and do fewer jarring state resets as the game moves from phase to phase. But, casual multiplayer has a bunch of problems. It’s fine for a synchronous game, but the timers are way too aggressive for casual, multi day games. Currently set to 24 hours with no reset per player, it will time someone out unless everyone is right in front of their devices waiting for their turn. Further, players don’t get a notification pip on their badge, so if they swipe away or can’t deal with a turn as soon as it comes up, they are likely to forget it is their turn. Network session connectivity for the games listing is spotty. I’ve never opened the app and had it load successfully without restarting that listing. The app lacks polish in presentation of the listings. The font is small even on my spacious iPad, the games don’t have a clear enough connection to the timer, player statuses are green for everyone who is waiting and red for the player the game is blocked on, and player avatars are shrunken in favor of a box that shows score for each player.

Intuitive, good design and challenging AI. Should be interesting if we get a Tuscany expansion.
- Upney · v2
If you like board game, then you should like the app. Great job! I am relatively new to the game. If you like Agricola, then you should like this game. I paid $8:99 and was very happy with my purchase.
- fun bobby's dad · v1
Works very well despite the complicated rules and all the variations cards and player order introduce. Crisp graphics and the AI seems pretty good based on my first test games. Happy to see this in digital from so I can stop playing the automa version of the board game while my cats try to eat the pieces.
- ibn fuzzayd · v1.0
I love the board game and think this is a great rendition of it. I do wish it had the Tuscany board and rules but I’ll take this for now. In regards to the complaints I’ve read about the slow AI. There is an option in the settings to toggle its speed. The AIs speed is quick and there is no waiting on my part. I’m playing on an iPhone 11; I don’t think that would have any bearing, but just starting just in case. I also read that it was 2 separate purchases for iPhone and iPad. Not true. I purchased on my iPhone and the app is also on my iPad playable and I was only charged once. The Papa action/selection could be more intuitive but once you figure it out, you’ll be fine. I think this game and Raiders of the North Sea are super close to their original board game counter parts and they’re quicker because there is no setup or breakdown. I’ve never tried Viticulture’s automa, and to be honest, with this app, I don’t think I ever will. This game is an excellent port, and I’m very happy with it. Makes me want to play the board game with my friends now because I feel like my strategy is getting better.
- 1.3.11 · v1.0
I’ve been waiting for this to come out for a while, and... it’s good. Not great, but definitely good. 👍 Here’s what would improve gameplay for me: 1) The option to display or hide the worker placement location titles is currently a tiny question mark in the left corner. It was not clear to me what that did. A clearer icon design/tutorial would help. OR just do what Agricola digital edition did, and create a temporary pop-up with relative info when users press and hold on a location. 2. AI gameplay speed is buried in the backend of the user interface. That and other options need to become part of a guided intro system when you open the app for the first time. 3. Not sure why there is a permanent “card” icon on the bottom of the screen that lets me look through the entire deck of available summer and winter cards. 🤷♂️ You can’t just grab the decks of cards in the real game and browse through them for fun, so I’m not sure why it’s in this digital edition. Could that spot be replaced with something more useful to gameplay? 4. Lastly, and for me, the game app icon itself could use a bit of a refresh. The current red/green design colors invoke more Christmas vibes than wine making. 🍇 An idea: Keep the classic viticulture “V”, make it more of a deep red, then put some of the fields (creams and hunter greens) from the box art/game opening screen behind it and you should have something that clearly says, “this is that game you know and love.” 🍷
- Patrick Kerwin · v1.0
Viticulture is one of my favorite board games, and one of many that I love by Stonemaier Games. When I heard of the digital version, I was really excited to try it. And, it’s made by the same company that made the Terra Mystica digital port, so my expectations were high. I didn’t experience any extended wait times for the AI. I’ve only played on the medium difficulty with the AI, and I also tweaked the settings to make the game play more quickly. The Tuscany expansion isn’t included here, which I know might be a turnoff for some. However, being able to play online and even with a full table with AI is a huge bonus. I know that I don’t dust off my physical copy as often as I’d like, so this helps scratch the Viticulture itch. This digital version can be a little clunky in terms of getting affirmation every single time you do something. And, for those of you that like to hammer the Undo button, you’re in for a rude awakening. Just like the Terra Mystica port, Undo will only take you back to the beginning of your current decision tree. Overall, I’m very happy with the app. Being able to play board games on the go is huge for me, and Viticulture checks all of the boxes for me. Start crushing those grapes!

I didn't need the tutorial to understand how to play (I own the physical game) and that's always a good significant to me. I've completed 8 games so far, very easy to play.

Thank you for porting this game! Overall, no complaints except to echo what others are saying - slow AI is a bummer! However, it’s a small nitpick and I think this port is so wonderful! Full of charm and style with a great tutorial and sleek UI, this game is a keeper! Would buy the Tuscany board for an additional $3.99 in a heartbeat!
- AlaskaDaveAK · v1.0
If there is one, my apologies, but I don’t see one or how. This needs to be implemented. Even on Fast game speed, the AI turns are too slow. Graphically, and gameplay wise, it’s a solid adaptation from the physical game.
