I was putting my collection back together after redecorating over the weekend and noticed a distinct lack of worker placement games in my collection!

We’ve played (and enjoyed!) Architects of the West Kingdom and Tiny Epic Dinosaurs in the past, but both belong to a friends collection and don’t want to overlap with them.

What worker placement games do you own and enjoy?

    Since you explicitly mentioned it - in your opinion, is the Tuscany expansion for Viticulture really essential (pun intended)? I only played the base game so far, sometimes also with the Rhine Valley expansion cards. Doesn’t Tuscany only add more complexity?

      I feel like the game without the expansion is a 7.5/10 and with the expansion is a 9/10. The new board really opens up the game.

      The expansion comes with several modules and you can side them out if you think they add too much complexity or randomness (I hate the orange deck). I think I only play with the map and don’t feel like it adds that much complexity.

      Viticulture with Tuscany makes the game so much better. I haven’t used the base board for years. It has four seasons instead of two and polishes the processes to perfection. It’s no more complicated than the base version, it just adds improvements. Definitely get it.
