| 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. | 9 Pleasure Garden building tiles (2 with black backs) plus 1 knowledge tile, shuffled into the supplies; placing one gives an immediate action using the white die's number (workers may be used as usual), and each is worth 4 VP. |
| What it fixes | No base-game flaw is cited by reviewers; it adds a second set of tile-placement goals rather than fixing something. | — |
