Q: Is there a one player option?

As has been answered, there absolutely is a one-player variant, and I just wanted to add my piece to this: it is one of the best solo-variants I've ever seen in a game. The designer of the variant is on Board Game Geek and it went through some amazing playtesting - the variant is so simple, yet it seems like it knows what we're thinking or wanting to do. It's got a few levels of difficulty as well, and the solo variant has been lovingly designed and honed by many many fans of Viticulture. I cannot recommend this game highly enough. One caveat - if you do purchase it, I would recommend purchasing a set of metal coins - I did not get the ones done by Stonemaier, but they are available at Meeplesource. I bought mine on Amazon and they were made for the game Brass (by Eagle Gryphon). Totally completely adds to the fun of this game!

Q: What types of tokens are needed for this game? ie. gold, stone, food, gems, wood etc? Would the Stonemaier token be useful or a waste?

Here’s what we do. We buy little jewelry gems at HobbyLobby….we buy Ruby red for the red wine, white for the whites, there’s a blush color , and then we buy a sparkly one for the champagne. We use a clear disc for the money marker. We use miniature wine bottles for the player scores. We also use silicon cupcake liners to hold game pieces. We use the cupcake liners for all sorts of games. Blings it all out at a reasonable price. We also used balsa wood to make crates for the cards. This is a frequent game at our house., so worth the effort. Great game for newer players. A bit light for my tastes, but we are gamers.

Q: Does this version come with the metal coins?

No, this version comes with cardboard coins. The Tuscany Deluxe expansion is the one that comes with the metal coins.

Q: Is this compatible with Tuscany Expansion (2nd Edition)?
