| What it adds | A tile rack beside the main board and a vineyard sideboard on each player's duchy board (4 vineyard boards, 51 double hex tiles, 1 vineyard depot, 1 vineyard store, 1 cloth bag per the Special Edition rulebook). Double hex tiles are placed on your vineyard board, and the more tiles of the same type you place, the more victory points you gain. | 4 new hex tiles (a Park that acts as any building, Goats that count as any animal, a Sequential Order tile that keeps you on top of the turn order, and a Worker tile that lets you buy 2 worker tiles for 1 silver) shuffled into the existing supplies. |
| What it fixes | No base-game flaw is cited by reviewers; it adds a second set of tile-placement goals rather than fixing something. | — |
