Quick Answer
To use the Viticulture World promo 'First Game Continent', simply add it to your game box and use it as the starting continent for your first cooperative session. It's designed to ease you into the expansion's mechanics, so you can focus on learning without overwhelming complexity.
Why Use the Promo First?
The Viticulture World expansion introduces a cooperative layer to the classic worker-placement game. If you're new to this mode, the promo 'First Game Continent' provides a gentler entry point, letting you grasp the new rules without the full challenge of a standard continent.
This promo is completely optional and only available from Stonemaier Games. If you order Viticulture World directly from the Stonemaier webstore, it's included automatically—no need to add it manually. That makes it a no-brainer for first-time players.
Step-by-Step Setup and Play
- Unbox and Inspect the Promo: Open the promo pack and ensure you have the 'First Game Continent' card or tile. It should match the components described in the Viticulture World rulebook. If anything is missing, contact Stonemaier support. Check that the promo is the correct continent for your first game.
- Set Up the Game Normally: Follow the standard setup for Viticulture World, but when the rules call for choosing a continent, select the 'First Game Continent' instead of a random one. This ensures you start with the intended introductory difficulty. Don't skip the continent selection—using the promo is the whole point.
- Read the Specific Rules for This Continent: The promo may include special instructions or a unique win condition. Read those carefully before starting. Common mistake: assuming it plays exactly like a standard continent. Check the rulebook for any notes about the First Game Continent. Always review the continent-specific rules before play.
- Play Your First Cooperative Game: Start the game with your group, focusing on learning the cooperative mechanics. Use the First Game Continent as a training ground—don't worry about winning, just understand how the shared goals and actions work. Treat this as a learning session, not a competitive match.
- After the Game, Transition to Standard Continents: Once you're comfortable, move on to the regular continents in Viticulture World. The promo is designed for your first game only; subsequent games can use any continent you like. The promo is a stepping stone—use it once, then explore the full expansion.
