Top 10 Worker Placement Games, with Twists!

[@hecatesson]

I absolutely loved this video! I usually see your wonderful teach & plays, but I love the chat and humor in this. Your videos are always great! Thank you!

[@MeepleUniversity]

🙏 Thank you so much!! At least you get to see us we're not super serious all the time hahaha.

[@richardscales9560]

Architects was my first thought. The capture and release mechanism is a bit of 'take that' without it feeling too much.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Yes there are a few other games that like that too!

[@nathanbellami3989]

Agricola was my first and coming into it from mostly card games and the mass market roll and move games I was like "whoa, this is so much control over what I can do and it's great"

[@MeepleUniversity]

Oooh, yes it was one of my first games, and I remember thinking ooooh its great!

[@SteveRB511]

Very fascinating mechanics coverage. While the final descriptions of each may be a bit long, they do help me remember the uniqueness of each game. Thank you!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Bwahahaha yes so long, I had to type it out lol. Thank you for the visit Steve!

[@markbeaulieu411]

I hope you do more for other mechanisms. I hadn’t heard of a few of these and I’m intrigued by them. Excellent video

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks for the feedback, we'll do🙏😄. Thanks so much!

[@wichhouse]

Love the idea of a series like this. Great list! I added some new games to my wishlist!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much, will do🙏

[@scottguiler]

This is a good approach and nice alternative to the usual top 10.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much for the feedback Scott! Will look into it for other mechanics in the future🙏

[@SebastianLondon]

Late viewer here, love the list. One of my favourites is Jiangnan, got it on kickstarter, great game , the only negative thing is that not all the content fits the box, leaving a considerable lift. Love the game. Love you guys!❤

[@MeepleUniversity]

We love you tooooo! Thanks so much! Jiangnan is fun

[@sadekhanna]

I'm surprised Underwater Cities didn't make the list. Either Viticulture or Everdell was my first, got them at the same time

[@MeepleUniversity]

Haha so many games! OOoh nice first two games there🙏

[@jankogo]

My favorite mechanism for sure. The new Caylus, Lords of Waterdeep, Kingsburg etc. My favorite probably Empires: Age of Discovery with the upgradable workers.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Yasss!! Empires Age of Discovery sounds like something we would like to play!!! Thanks for the mention

[@Mokkel73]

0:13 I was a little shocked over how long that index finger was! 🙂

[@MeepleUniversity]

I had to look...several times, I swear it was just from that angle lol

[@pm71241]

Really interesting list. Not played any of them, but had my eyes on Targi. Surprised there was no Keyflower

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Peter. Keyflower is a good example of how these mechanisms can be in the eye of the beholder. We thought of Keyflower as an auction with a twist, rather than worker placement with a twist.

[@nicolasdusart3425]

Great video ! Good insights on games. Well done

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks so much Nicolas!!!

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

My first was also Stona Age

[@MeepleUniversity]

Heyyy Stone Age buddy 😁

[@carmanragatz]

Stone Age was my first.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Yay samesy buddy hehe. Stella.

[@samanrahemi2199]

My first WP was Architects of the west kingdom

[@MeepleUniversity]

Wow that's a good unique one to start!

[@Senior_Prepper]

Is there a game where other players choose your placement?

[@Mussar523]

I was suprised no Lacerta games or games like Anachrony?

[@MeepleUniversity]

We mentioned Anachrony as discussion, and Gallerist in the video as part of conversation. Did you see that bit? :)

[@Mussar523]

@@MeepleUniversity I am sorry I relistened to the begining I missed that part. I think I didn't realize that when you wrote with a twist you were looking for a particular difference which other quality games didn't do. I understand. Thank you again!

[@MeepleUniversity]

No problemo. There are just so many games to play right 🙏😂😄. Hope you find soke new games you can give it a go

[@hiho8084]

Carcassonne was my first worker placement game. It's still a great game!

[@coalitionofseekers9572]

Lol. Can't tell if your joking or not

[@hiho8084]

@@coalitionofseekers9572 LOL. OK then.

[@MeepleUniversity]

[@Mussar523]
