Worker Placement Recommendations (self.boardgames)

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?

I didn't realize how many worker placement games I own until I started going through them. These are the ones I would recommend:

  • Caylus (I consider this a top one, but can be a bit hard to explain to beginners)
  • Stone Age (Classic and easy to teach)
  • Leonardo Da Vinci (I have not seen this one around as much recently but is always loved

Some have said Agricola, I'm iffy on if this is actual a worker placement, to me it is more turn based, with the "workers" just representing taken spots. But, if we are counting Agricola, then I would of course put in for Agricola, but argue highly for its much better cousin--La Harve.
