Coupage

Each player takes on the role of a prestigious winery. Your goal: craft the most exquisite wines by carefully selecting and playing sets of grape cards, as well as time and special cards... all while sabotaging your opponents with some rather nasty surprises — like spoiling their wine or evaporating their grapes. Use your cards to produce and bottle diverse types of wines. The first player to bottle two wines and one cava (sparkling wine) wins the game. Each turn begins by drawing cards, followed by up to two actions. These actions can include playing a set of grapes, a time card, bottling a wine, or playing a special card. To complete the bottling process and create a wine, you'll first need to obtain various combinations of grape cards and time cards, which simulate fermentation. Finally, bottle the wine by discarding grape cards, using them according to their star-marked value. If the game is not yet over, bottling a wine may provide a special one-time ability, such as stealing cards or gaining extra turns. Special cards add more depth to the game, allowing you to gain individual advantages or thwart other players' plans. Halt the progress of other opponents, or recover quickly from sabotages, if you want to achieve victory. —user summary
