Requirements
- a standard set of Settlers
- 2-3 vineyard hex tiles
- 20-30 wine resource cards
Rules
A vineyard tile is like any other resource-producing hex. Its products are wine cards. Wine cards may be traded with other players or used to bribe the port master. In a port bribe, one or more wine cards can take the place of any other resource that would be part of the port trade. However, at least one non-wine card must be used in any port bribe. The port master cannot feed his children wine.
Wine resources act like any other resource: wine contributes to a player's 7-card limit, can be monopolized, are eligible for year-of-plenty, can be stolen by other players moving the robber.
These rules also apply to 4-to-1 bank trades; just think of them as port trades.
Examples
- 3 sheep and 1 wine may be traded for a wood with the bank.
- 1 wood and 2 wine may be traded for an ore at a 3-to-1 port.
- 1 wheat and 1 wine may be traded for a brick at a 2-to-1 wheat port.
Possible Variations
- Only one wine can be used per trade.
- Wine cannot be used in 4-to-1 trades.
- A whole trade can consist of wine cards, e.g., 2 wine for a brick at a 2-to-1 port.
