The Grape Game

THE GRAPE GAME is a family game... a real board game of luck and strategy !

No previous knowledge of grape-growing or wine making is necessary. Learn the business while playing – actually, it’s by playing the game that you’ll learn the most!

THE GRAPE GAME is not only fun to play but also educational, teaching you about the different tasks involved in growing grapes, which is the first of many steps involved in producing an excellent wine.

THE GRAPE GAME can easily be played among friends or family members. Children at 8 or 9 years old will enjoy the game...

You will find here a few comments made by players in the Golden Book, after playing THE GRAPE GAME : (translated from French)

Caroline, 12 : Before playing this game, when I saw a bottle of wine, I did not think at all about all the work that went into it...

Helene, 28 : I love strategy games, rather complex but not so hard, and I had a great fun to play this game. Many twists and turns until the last second, no dreariness at all and no hassles! An immersion into the wine growing world while having fun... That's perfect! I recommend it (and yet I'm a sore loser... that means that's a good game) !!! Try it!

Michel, 67 (while playing the game) : Now I understand why I pay that much for my bottle of wine!

Jean-Pierre, 45 : a really nice trip through wine country, which clearly explains things and teaches about wine-growing work

Shams, 8 1/2 : I love this game ; I would really like to buy it, because you learn things.

Isabelle, his mother : An interesting game for both children and adults, and nobody gets bored.
