Champenois and passionate about board games, Christophe Pouey, Cyrille Lefranc and Franck Rubarbe co-signed the creation and production of the game AOC - Age of Champagne.
The game puts you in the position of a young cellar master who inherits the family estate, and who has to make the right investments, and sometimes difficult but always judicious choices, in order to develop the estate or the House in different markets.
Choosing your vines and extending your vineyard, using the skills of your employees and placing them on the right tasks and missions, selecting your grape varieties to create the right vintages, developing your production and winemaking tools, selling and shipping your wines worldwide... These are the main objectives.
A unique game about Champagne-making, based mainly on the gameplay mechanisms of "worker placement", "resource management and conversion" and "card collection".
Launched on October 20, the 20-day Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign has already received a warm welcome from contributors. The 10,000 euro target was reached on the 1st evening in less than 2 hours. At almost 18,000 euros, the campaign continues, and it is still possible to pre-order the "Special Kickstarter" version of the game until 09.11.22.
This special version includes player pieces in the shape of a Champagne cork, which will not be available in the boutique version scheduled for release in March 2023. Pre-ordering the game also entitles you to receive it in December, at a preferential rate (and without shipping costs, for those champenoise who agree to collect their game directly from the authors, at the various delivery points provided for this purpose).
