I was putting my collection back together after redecorating over the weekend and noticed a distinct lack of worker placement games in my collection!
We’ve played (and enjoyed!) Architects of the West Kingdom and Tiny Epic Dinosaurs in the past, but both belong to a friends collection and don’t want to overlap with them.
What worker placement games do you own and enjoy?
A couple recommendations:
-
Dune: Imperium - Haven’t been able to play it yet but worth checking out
-
Viticulture Essential Edition with the Tuscany Essential Edition expansion
-
Targi - 2 players only
-
I really like A Feast for Odin with the Norwegian expansion.
Dune Imperium is great - it’s a mix of deck building and worker placement
Beyond the Sun has only 1 worker but it is a personal favorite of mine
Lords of Waterdeep
Raiders of the North Sea
Paladins of the West Kingdom
Just want to say a huge thanks to everyone for the recommendations so far! I’ve got a board game rental subscription with my local cafe, so I’ll have to scour their shelves and give some a try!
What are worker placement games? Something like Puerto Rico?
Games where you put a woker (typically a meeple but can also be a die) in an action spot and no one else can perform that action while you are there.
One with dice that’s fun is Alien Frontiers.
I would consider Wingspan to be close enough to a worker placement game that you should consider it if you don’t have it already - it is very good
It’s not worker placement in any sense. It’s a tableau engine builder.
