Moor Visitors vs Visit from the Rhine Valley
Short answer: buy Moor Visitors first. Cheap, shuffles straight into the base decks and adds variety with no extra rules. Not essential, but fans rarely take it back out.
Pick Visit from the Rhine Valley first instead if this sounds more like your table: Good if your group wants visitor cards that build your wine business instead of handing out points. It replaces your other visitor cards, so it is a different flavour, not more game.
