Viticulture: Arboriculture and Formaggio Expansions

Description

--- <TLDR>Arboriculture and Formaggio, non-essential Tuscany modules, now free PnP and US PoD; add olive crops and cheese-making to Viticulture for increased complexity and VP options. (20 words) Key mechanics include: - *Arboriculture expansion* Introduces "arbor" cards yielding olive oil, apples, tomatoes; planted/harvested like grapes on vineyard mat extension, enhancing wine order value and worker morale. - *Increased complexity* Doubles game complexity, extends playtime by 15 minutes. - *Formaggio expansion* Enables cow trading at Tuscany board's one-for-one space, cheese production using 18 cows and 6 cellar tokens, integrable into wine orders. - *Cheese structures* Cheesemonger sells cheese for 1VP during wine sales; Affinatore controls cheese aging (none or double to prevent rot); Formager discards cheese yearly on orders for VP up to 4. Arboriculture and Formaggio were original Kickstarter modules for Viticulture: Tuscany, later excluded from the Essential compilation but re-released due to fan demand as free print-and-play files and print-on-demand via Print and Play Games (US shipping). Arboriculture adds arbor cards producing olive oil, apples, and tomatoes, cultivated and harvested identically to grapes but processed via a vineyard mat extension, boosting wine order values and worker morale despite added duties; it significantly doubles game complexity and adds 15 minutes to playtime. Formaggio introduces cow trading and cheese-making, with 18 cow minis and 6 cheese cellar tokens; cows are acquired/sold at the Tuscany board's one-for-one trade space, and cheeses enhance wine orders. The expansion includes three mat structures: Cheesemonger for selling one cheese as 1VP during wine token sales; Affinatore to select cheese types for no aging (avoiding rot) or double aging; Formager permitting one annual cheese discard during wine order fulfillment for VP equivalent to the cheese's value, up to 4 points matching a full wine order. ---
