“A game is like
a book with the ever-present possibility of rewriting the outcome.” (Curtis
Bryant)
“Life is a game,
but without the option to reboot.” (Colman
Bryant)
Coming Soon... "Wine Barons™ - Bordeaux
Edition"
A new computer game, "Wine
Barons - Bordeaux Edition" is currently under development by Curtis
Bryant in association with the game design team at Gamesare. Based
upon a board game created by Mr. Bryant, "Wine Barons" uses a
"Monopoly" model to simulate the fine wine export and investment
market. The game is an edutainment tool for those interested in
learning the geography and wines of the Bordeaux region while enjoying
the pleasures and challenges of computer gaming. Your mission as a player is to have fun
investing in the Bordeaux wine futures market.
But in the process of challenging the elements and the competition for
dominance, you might accidentally learn the difference
between a Pauillac and a Pomerol.
The "Wine Barons" development
team looks forward to featuring the names, labels, and history of a
select group of the finest châteaux of the major wine producing
areas of Bordeaux. Hyperlinks directly to the châteaux websites
will allow the computer gamer to learn even more about many of the
world's most distinguished wines.
Bryant's background in fine wines goes back over thirty years. As
with many in the world of art and entertainment, Curtis Bryant the
composer led a double life working in the service industries. As
a specialist in fine wines, Bryant worked in the retail and wholesale
wine business in New York and later in the restaurant business in
Atlanta. He distinguished himself as a wine steward at the Ritz
Carlton Atlanta and the City Grill, earning numerous awards in the
Atlanta International Wine Festival, including Silver Medal, Gold Medal
and Best of Show in the somelier competitions (1984, '85, '91).
Curtis Bryant has designed a number of other games, mostly in the
strategy and educational category, including "Silk
Route," a game of trade and cultural exchange, "The Golden Goose," a
game based upon the pursuit of ancient wisdom, and "The Hitchhiking
Game," a legacy of his travels abroad in Europe, Asia and Africa.
