Top 10 Worker Placement Games

[@KitCatherine]

I am soooo late to the party. I finally ordered Viticulture (Tuscany per Murph’s recommendation). Looking forward to playing it. Great list TBM & BGG

[@Anastasis-is-here]

Simurgh is a worker placement that stands out for me duo to it's very mathematical board, each time you place a worker you have to also pay to receive something. Also it is insanely beautiful.

[@bWOOOPdeWooop]

Champions of Midgard, raiders of the North Sea, dinosaur Island, stone age, caylus, Yokohama are some favs

[@stefanformgren4978]

[@noizeemama3697]

I get giddy when Targi makes it on a list. Absolutely love this game.

[@jojo-gy9pp]

Ha I looked down here for hope as this confusing early explanation lost me. Perhaps i'll look again.

I am a very recent fan of hobby board games, but from what little I've experienced and studied for my own, I feel like worker placement might be my favorite game mechanic. It just feels so iconically "board game" to be placing some meeples on a spot to generate resources. I can't say for sure it is because I've played so few games as a whole, but I'd really like to play more of them and I feel like it gives me a direction of what games I should check out. I've played Lords of Waterdeep via the digital app so I can practice against AI and I really enjoy that game a lot, I really hope to sit down and play the physical game against other players at some point. Obviously since I've played so few games I can't really have much of "favorites", but some of the worker placement games I'm most interested in experimenting with and learning more about are A Feast for Odin, Caverna, Everdell, Champions of Midgard, and Tiny Epic Western (which I can play solo, but still).

[@pacmaniacer]

I totally agree with wayfarers and viticulture (which should be Higher on the list). Here are my top 5 1 wayfarers of the south Tigris 2 viticulture 3 rats of wistar 4 rajas of the ganges 5 Raiders of the northsea

[@TheNemu]

Targi Is my favourite game for two players after wir sind das Volk so also for me it's one the best working placement game.. nice top ten but I'm surprised that there aren't caylus, village and keyflower in this top ten. Btw great top ten!

[@matt7912-j9p]

Good list but missed the 2 best - Barrage and Champions of the Midgard

[@eVanDiesel]

Viticulture hasn't stopped weeping, Nick.....

[@Mr3DPrintWizard]

Wait... where in the world was White Castle on this list???? It's just too good and so well done.

[@Jacquotplacesworkers-f7m]

I love worked placement too ;)

[@elnicolas123]

Always a good video if Barcelona gets some love. Fantastic design!

[@TAraujoMD]

What edition comes with the tzolk’in amazing components (corn etc)?!?

[@amethystwolf24572]

Those are third party upgrades.

[@johncollins8511]

Worker placement games are a category that I want to love, but I haven't found one that I really like. Though after hearing about The Prodigals Club, that might change. I need to see if my local board game cafe has a copy. Shout out Hexagon Alley!

[@coyotemoon722]

Stoked to see Feast. Surprised to see Kanal! It's a good game but I'm just surprised to see it in a Top 10 of this type.

[@alam1000malam]

spyrium,keyper,manhattan project, underwater cities, yedo,dungeon petz, lancaster, belfort

[@justinkimbler3554]

Fields of Arle, Russian railroads, and Snowdonia are my top 3 worker placement games!

[@kcw1879]

Not one mention of Dwellings of Eldervale? Every gaming friend that has tried that game it becomes their favorite.

[@Firebeees]

Mine would have to be: 10. Targi 9. Agricola 8. Raiders of the North Sea 7. Shipwrights of the North Sea (Redux) 6. Architects of the West Kingdom 5. Hallertau 4. Viticulture 3. Wayfarers of the South Tigris 2. A Feast for Odin 1. Paladins of the West Kingdom Playing Tzolk'in soon, so we'll see where that lands! (And yes, I like Garphill Games)

[@justineld4905]

Champions of Midgard is my favorite.

[@MrHMCC]

[@Kaworu42]

Anachrony, Trickerion ?

[@boeta9778]

I see, Pocket Master Builder still the hidden gem in this genre apparently
