We are delighted to announce that the first release of Cuvée is completely sold out! Judging by the positive feedback we have received, we can safely say that no one is regretting their purchase. For those who missed out, the second (unchanged) edition is already on its way and will be available in the stores and here in our webshop at the end of February/beginning of March.

But there is more. The eagerly awaited English version will arrive with the same shipment. It will be offered primarily to customers abroad, but we have also received several enquiries from companies wishing to offer Cuvée as a gift to their partners. It will soon be available in the webshop!

A very special event took place recently: three of the most watched Hungarian board game reviewers (Pumi Games, D3-Meeples and Mit Játsszunk?) gathered at Pierrot's house to match their strengths in a Cuvée party! A professional video team also happened to be there, so you can join the experts in this gameplay video. (In Hungarian).

The Mit Játsszunk? blog is probably the most influential review channel in the country, so their positive verdict counts! Watch the video here (in Hungarian):

BREAKING! Our correspondent in China has just sent us this photo from the printers... Note that instead of the Hungarian grape varieties, there are names like Malbec and Shiraz on the cards! What's going on... ???

For those who have played Cuvée, this should be a familiar picture. Or maybe not? Okay, it looks the same, but still... somehow different!

The solution: Cuvée is coming to Tabletopia soon! Stay tuned

For those of you who speak Hungarian, this 2-hour gameplay video from Pumi Games is a fun, informal introduction to the rules of this rather complex game. Thank you!

Here is the very first video review of Cuvée, made by D3Meeples especially for our website! Thank you very much!

It’s ready! We have just received this video showing the opening of a freshly printed "box of Cuvée".

Did you know that games like Ark Nova, Oltrée, Clank!, Bitoku, Isle of Cats, and even 7 Wonders: Duel were also manufactured by Whatz Games in China?

Once the decision was made, Pierrot carried out the final tests with the prototype of Cuvée, and the artist Laci Falvay prepared the components for printing. In the meantime, we began to look for a manufacturer.

Although we had been determined to work with a local Hungarian printer, in the end it proved to be more efficient to choose another solution. And we chose Whatz Games. Their highly professional team exceeded all expectations!

The boxes will arrive by air and train from China.

We are proud to announce a long-term partnership between Private Moon Studios and the largest Hungarian wine trading company Bortársaság.

Bortársaság will offer Cuvée in their wine shops and promote it in their online store. In return, we will give the most loyal fans of the game an annual Bortársaság membership card, as well as a promotional pack of Cuvée expansion cards made by Pierrot for this special purpose.

Cuvée has been around in prototype for many years, matured through hundreds of playtests. And we have received nothing but positive feedback lately.

The game has been tested not only by professional game testers, but also by hardcore gamers, winemakers and wine experts. Many people came back with promising comments like "I know what strategy I'd try next - if the others would let me". These experience tests encouraged us to choose Cuvée as our first own publication.

Furthermore, Cuvée is a game specifically designed for experienced players. As such, it has always been outside the focus of local publishers, who, for obvious reasons, are looking for games that appeal to a wider audience.

However, we are confident that gamers appreciate this type of games. Also, we fell in love with Laszlo Falvay’s artwork, which makes Cuvé even more special.

Laszlo (Laci) Falvay, the artist behind Cuvée, had previously worked on a number of Pierrot's productions, including the artwork for his music albums and his PC adventure game series AGON. Since then, Laci has become a well-known PR professional and also a wine expert. And yet, although an enthusiastic board game fan, he had a dislike for the wine-themed games available on the market.

So, together they decided to buy and play all the wine-making games that counted. The picture became more balanced, but the challenge remained: create the ideal winemaking simulator game! Pierrot got to work – and his artist friend was so pleased with the result that he immediately offered to create the artwork and graphics for the game. Cuvée was born.

Although the translation may sound a bit strange in Hungarian, Private Moon Studios has been a renowned name in our country for decades. In 2023 the company is exactly 30 years old, and we thought it deserved a new profile to light up our flagged moon on this special occasion.

It started out as Pierrot's music production company, working with many popular musicians of the time, like Ganxsta Zolee, Rémember, O.J. Sámson, Toys of Ancient Gods and others.

It then became an editorial office for computer game magazines, and eventually a development studio for Pierrot's own computer games (the AGON series, Yoomurjak's Ring, Miazma and others). At the same time, a division of the company ran a record label of the same name.

Now that Pierrot has recently been focusing on board game design, we have decided to make board game publishing our new line of business and become the publisher of his own creations in the country and abroad.

Cuvée is our first choice.
