Top 10 Mechanisms: Tile-laying

[@clumsydad7158]

Very ingenius categorizations. I hadn't realized the diversity. Nice dice shelf on the wall too!

I'm so grateful for your videos.

Nice job with the categories. I really like tile laying games and this gives me another way of analyzing them. I enjoy carcassone, voluspa, scrabble, rumi k, bat'l khaos, hey, that's my fish, Qwirkle, forbidden desert, the amazing labyrinth and dominoes. Thanks for the video, think I will subscribe

Neat video, Adam. Today I learned what "tessellation" means; I'd always heard it used in discussions about mosaics, but hadn't cemented my understanding of it until I looked it up just now.

I had to look up how to spell it for the video! Not a word I commonly use!

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing other lists like "dice mechanisms" or "card mechanisms"... [Just saw you've already done that. :) I'll watch them soon.]

[@AdaminWales]

Great! Glad you enjoyed it.

Nicely done Adam, though inevitably trying to categorize always leaves you open to inconsistencies, you mentioned the link between Oregon and Tigris being on boards for example, ( you could easily say Tigris could be there with Oregon then but the nuts of Tigris is really about the destruction element :), you lose a point for not including the old grandad Acquire, still among the best GAME of all time never mind just tiles and also featuring a rigid board of locations ( sharing an aspect with Oregon that the tiles/cards in hand limit where you can place and both games make use of that in driving strategic placement). Anyway ACQUIRE should be here. If I had to make a genre not on the list perhaps I'd add 'Reef Encounter' as a tile laying game with boards and a shared tableau and destruction but where the tile laying itself is really an aside to the real issue of manipulating stocks and shares and your holdings in them,
