A couple recommendations:
Dune: Imperium - Haven't been able to play it yet but worth checking out
Lost Ruins of Arnak
Viticulture Essential Edition with the Tuscany Essential Edition expansion
Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar
Targi - 2 players only
Ora et Labora
Kingsburg (Second Edition)
Since you explicitly mentioned it - in your opinion, is the Tuscany expansion for Viticulture really essential (pun intended)? I only played the base game so far, sometimes also with the Rhine Valley expansion cards. Doesn't Tuscany only add more complexity?
I feel like the game without the expansion is a 7.5/10 and with the expansion is a 9/10. The new board really opens up the game.
The expansion comes with several modules and you can side them out if you think they add too much complexity or randomness (I hate the orange deck). I think I only play with the map and don't feel like it adds that much complexity.
Cool, thanks for the insights! Might actually need to give it a try then.
Viticulture with Tuscany makes the game so much better. I haven't used the base board for years. It has four seasons instead of two and polishes the processes to perfection. It's no more complicated than the base version, it just adds improvements. Definitely get it.
