Worker placement games are like Black Friday shopping, first come first served.
There are only a limited number of good spaces to place your workers, and you can only place one worker at a time, so which space do you pick first?
In each of these games you will earn money and glory for building shops in Waterdeep, build the cathedral and your own personal empire of buildings and apprentices, or send generations of your family out into the world to be remembered in the village chronicle.
(2-5 Players)
For people who like taking the thing you were gonna take.
Or people who like going on quests.
Or people who want to turn in cubes into points
(This one is for groups that enjoy confrontation and rushing to fill the limited worker spaces, that is to say it's not for people who get easily miffed.)
(1-5 Players)
For people who want a game with fast turns and low downtime.
Or people who want to arrest their friends
Or people who contribute to the common good
(The game is flexible to the personality types of the players who play it.)
(1-4 Players)
For people who prefer a simpler time.
Or people who want to put their family to work.
Or for people who would rather die young and be remembered, than live long and be buried in an unmarked plot.
(A strangely emotional experience as you become increasingly attached to the workers representing generations of your family who, sadly....must die throughout the game.)
