I have a pretty simple definition of worker placement: you have a handful of workers and you put them on the board to do some actions. Any game that does this thing are worker placement games in my eyes. Some call games like Istanbul and Teotihuacan worker placement games, but they don't feel anything like games such as Agricola, Viticulture or Stone Age. In Istanbul and Teotihuacan you don't have a pool of workers but you're moving pieces on the table. If that's worker placement, then Monopoly is a worker placement game.

@revimfadli46663 жыл бұрын
If you haven't already, perhaps you'll like Dune: Imperium, since there, the tradeoff of having more workers is having less cards for the showdown/buy phase, since you must play them for each worker placed. So not only is there an upkeep cost, you also decide which cards to place workers with(and use the upper "placement" effects of), and which ones to keep for showdown & purchases. Might be more interesting than uniform food

Worker Placement is by far my favourite game mechanic. We've recently learnt classics AGRICOLA and VITICULTURE and enjoyed them both. I really enjoy LORDS OF WATERDEEP, TARGI, and CAYLUS 1303. But my favourite is RAIDERS OF THE NORTH SEA. I really like the method of one on/one off, and the way the workers escalate as you work on the board. And other than the colour of Meeple you need, it never really blocks a spot in the village which is clever too.

Two things I want to point out. First of all, there is NO added benefit to players going last in Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar. Why? Because it doesn’t really matter. If you go first, you pay lower corn costs. If you go last, you get to move up the gears faster, but you have to pay more corn for it. I think this is actually the most balanced solution for the “first player advantage” problem. The other thing is, normally, passing the first player marker does NOT mitigate unfairness. For example, in a three-player game with four rounds, somebody will end up holding the first player marker twice.
@cogitodesign3 жыл бұрын
Yes, this is a fair point. The designers of Tzolk'in have clearly spent a long time balancing this issue. I wonder whether mathematically paying lower corn costs or moving up the gears faster are perfectly balanced but they must be close. Agreed on the issue of passing the first player marker. It is not a perfect solution especially with uneven player numbers. Thanks for your thoughtful and helpful comment.

My favourite worker placement game is Viticulture with the Tuscany Expansion. It turns a very good game into one of the all time best. The worker placement is excellent, with turn order being integrated into your choices as mentioned in the video, and although action spots are limited it never feels entirely as if you are pushed out of the game, there's always something you can do, or at least that you could have done to prevent yourself being edged out. You do need to go in recognizing that it's half worker placement, half card game (under estimate the value of the Visitor cards at your peril!). I only wish the mechanical aspect of harvesting grapes and turning them into wine was a) slightly less fiddley and b) a bit more thematically accurate to the actual wine making process! (That wouldn't bother everyone, but it's so wrong and so obviously wrong that for me it does break the spell a bit.)

Just before seeing this video I was thinking at a simultaneous worker placement. My idea is this: every building can give its benefits to n workers, and is there are more than n workers, there’s a draw to see who gets the benefits and who doesn’t. Players can move their worker freely during this phase, all at once, until everybody is satisfied with their choice. Hopefully there won’t be many draws, as people prefer not to risk gaining nothing. Maybe a timer will be needed.
@cogitodesign Жыл бұрын
It sounds really interesting! Having made a simultaneous game (Philosophia: Floating World), it provides unique challenges and advantages. It's fantastic not having any downtime and the real-time feel can bring a great sense of tension and excitement to games. On the negative as you say it can lead to issues around resolving ties and potential endless loops where players move somewhere, their opponent moves in response to that so they move back, the opponent moves back ad infinitum. There are definite ways to solve these problems, but it's something to bear in mind when creating games with simultaneous play. If it helps, we used an influence track mechanism to solve this problem. This track is where conflicts were resolved by the player highest on the track and, after resolving the conflict, they had to move to the bottom of the track. Let us know how your design progresses!
@matteogiannangeli2552 Жыл бұрын
@@cogitodesign the track is a great idea! I liked the randomness of my system, but probably it’s not worth the possible problems it brings. I’m designing this game with every possible simultaneous mechanisms for my large playing group. It should be for 6-8 players.

@@matteogiannangeli2552 It sounds like a really good idea, I agree. With large player counts simultaneous play is a huge asset. Roll and write is also a great mechanism that allows you to scale games for higher player counts and allows for simultaneous play. Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your progress!

i always have a terrible time saying what my favorite is about anything, but i'll try. My favorite worker placement game as a worker placement game is probably still Agricola. It was the first heavier game in my collection and it's still what i think of when you say "worker placement." That being said, my current favorite game that contains worker placement (loosely defined) is Obsession. A the most interesting, creative use of worker placement i've played is Red Outpost.
