From BoardGameGeek
You are a winemaker from Bordeaux making, aging, and selling your artisanal wines. You strive to create the highest quality and most prestigious wines in France. Bordeaux is a condensed, paper-and-pencil version of the board game Fromage. This travel-sized game easily fits in a backpack and doesn't require a table, so it can be played anywhere: the backseat of a car, an airplane, the beach, or even while you stand in a long line at a game convention! The game lasts 13 turns (years). Each year, assign workers to Make Wine or Gather Resources, choosing a duration of 1, 2, or 3 years for each action. Longer duration means a more powerful action, but it will take longer for that worker to be ready again. At game-end, score points for your wine and resources. -description from the publisher
