Product Information
In the late 17th century, a French Benedictine monk at Hautvillers Abbey revolutionized the wine - making process in the region. He enabled the production of high - quality wines, especially white wines from black grape varieties. Although Dom Pierre Pérignon initially disliked the sparkling aspect of the wine, the subsequent boost in quality and quantity paved the way for champagne's recognition. In the 18th century, 'Champagne Maisons' emerged, replacing small - scale farm and monastery production. They specialized in champagne production by expanding vineyards and buying grapes, and hired sales agents to promote their champagne at European Royal Courts, sparking the champagne - drinking trend. Despite growth in the 19th century, trade wasn't explosive. The Dom Pierre game is about winning prestige rather than just making money. In it, you manage an ancient Champagne Maison, producing and selling wine across Europe and the Americas, boosting local economies, increasing employment, and making your brand globally known. To succeed, start in your vineyard. Continuously improve, respond to opponents, and make smart choices. In each turn, move a disc on the winery game board and perform an action that gets more powerful as the game goes on. You'll plant in vineyards, harvest, buy grapes, make wines in the cellar, allocate salespeople and workers, and acquire production - improving accessories.
How to play: Start the game by taking charge of your Champagne Maison. On each turn, move the disc on the winery game board and choose an action.

But to keep the game exciting, try different strategies each time you play. And make sure to keep all game pieces in a safe place when not in use.
