Setup

  • Shuffle the deck of cards and place it in the middle of the table.

  • Each player starts with 4 draw cards and 5 starting cards in their hand.

  • Each player receives bottle tokens to mark the bottled wines.

STRUCTURE OF THE TURN

  • At the beginning of the turn, draw 1 card (from the deck or from the market; if you draw from the market, replace it with a card from the deck). Then you can do up to 2 actions, repeated or different. If you have less than 3 cards at the end of your turn, draw from the deck until you have 3.
