Stone Age. Worker placement and set collection point salad and not much else.

Yeah. It got recommended to me as an easier Tzolkin. Well, it IS easier but not anywhere near as interesting and every game feels sooo samey.

Yeah. I like worker placement games, but Stone Age seems to think "oh player X goes before you this turn and gets dibs on spot Y so revise your plans" is the most interesting part of worker-placement. Which, no, it isn't. It's an important mechanic, but it feels like that and collect-em-up is basically the whole game in Stone Age.
