Location: K
Choice: W
Game: Viticulture plus Tuscany

Game 1:

Player	Points
Z	31
K	28
J	22
G	18
W	14

Final Tally:

• Z was declared this week's winner!

Game Notes:

• Z played an orange structure card without actually using the action space
• Then W did the same
• So...
• We "decided" that everyone gets to play one orange card without playing the action once each during the game
• obviously the player most advantaged by this decision was the player who used htis effect earliest in the game thus giving themsleves more opportunities to take advantage of the structure more often
• G was the last player to use this special cheater move
• that is a g-d asterix
