OBSERVER - 19th Dec '99 |
| The great thing about this game is that you can 'own' a vineyard without investing a penny or watching the elements shaft your crop... |

Quaffers is an excellent board game that can be played by four or more adults. It combines entertainment, wine education and the chance to drink lots of wine - part of the fun is that each player brings a bottle that is tasted blind by the other players.

Game for a Quaff
A fun way to learn more about wine. Quaffers is a Monopoly-style wine board game for adults, combining wine education with entertainment and blind tastings. Each player is the owner of an internationally-acclaimed vineyard, travelling around the board to bottle their yield and sell it on the market; with ‘taste and bid’ squares to blind taste your partner’s wines (disguised in a special Quaffers draw-string bag). £35.99 plus p&p from Waterstones, Hamleys, Vinopolis. Join fellow players in cyberspace at www.quaffers.co.uk

DRINKING GAMES:
 If you've ever fancied owning a vineyard - without the expense of buying one - try your hand at a new board game, Quaffers. Each player brings you a bottle which is tasted blind by the others (their aim is to guess the grape variety, vintage, price, etc.) and turn barrels into bottles before they turn to vinegar and eventually buy up the other participant's vineyard. Question cards relate to grape varieties, history, viticulture and labels. Quaffers' creator, Heather Miller said, "The aim is to educate while entertaining. Travelling around the board is set to reflect reality in the wine industry and we'll bring out new sets of questions, some country-related ones." It's available by mailorder, internet, Vinopolis and a few retailers. Contact ChonkyChonks on +44 (0) 1235 535685 or www.quaffers.co.uk

SOMETHING FOR YOUR PARTY
 " Quaffers - Vinous Trivial Pursuit with a tad of Monopoly thrown in, but with the great advantage that tasting the wines your guests bring is an essential part of this game."
