“Only the unimaginative can fail to find a reason for drinking champagne.” –Oscar Wilde
Bonjour Maison Managers, We have reached the final hours of the campaign!
Thank you so much for joining us. We wanted to send one final update before we close.
Pledging closes tonightat MIDNIGHT EST!
Q. What happens if I miss the pledge deadline?
A. If you pledged, you will still be able to upgrade or add on to your pledge in the pledge manager.
Q. When does the Pledge Manager open?
A. Approximately 2-3 weeks after the end of the campaign. So around mid-February.
Solo-Mode Overview
Rôla & Costa are hard at work on the development of the Solo-Mode now so we will have more to share once they are ready to share but for now, here is what to expect...
The solo deck and asingle die allow you to play against the game itself. Perform your turn then take a card and roll the die. The card is the action for the ghost player and the die roll will modify any results of the action. Thisworks quite nicely and the end scoring is very close between the solo player and the ghost.
Rules, Rules, Rules!
All rules editions can now be found over on BoardGameGeek, including the latest Dutch Rules! (the file name on BGG is deceptive, but these are actually in Dutch, not English.)
We cannot express how much we have enjoyed this journey with you, but this is not the end! We will be back tomorrow with what to expect in the coming weeks.
Until then we will see you in the comments, on social media, and over on BGG! Don't forget to tell your friends why this is a project you are supporting using the hashtag #ProjectWeLove! (ICYMI our last update - here is what the hashtag is about.)

Got any gwapes?
We got in a video of the sample of the grapes from the factory today and we are so excited to show you the first look at the grapes add-on!
You'll see it has just a slight give to provide the squish desired but still be stable enough to do its job in the vineyard. Anyone else wanna get barefoot and start squishing grape mush between your toes? Just me?
