Viticulture: Bordeaux Expansion

Wasn't sure the Bordeaux board would feel different enough from the original, but the starting boost really changes how you open. Getting a full four seasons of worker placement instead of the usual three makes the whole game feel roomier.

The 4-season board adds such a nice rhythm to the game, and the starting boost on Bordeaux really shakes up the opening strategy without feeling overpowered. My group has played it three times already and it's become our default setup.

The four full worker placement seasons on this board change the pacing completely, and the starting boost actually makes the first round feel less punishing for once. The 4-season board is the big draw for me, and it breathes real life into the base game.
