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"
Oooh, yes it was one of my first games, and I remember thinking ooooh its great!
Love the idea of a series like this. Great list! I added some new games to my wishlist!
Thanks so much, will do🙏
Architects was my first thought. The capture and release mechanism is a bit of 'take that' without it feeling too much.
Yes there are a few other games that like that too!
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!❤
We love you tooooo! Thanks so much! Jiangnan is fun
Great video ! Good insights on games. Well done
Thanks so much Nicolas!!!
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
Thanks for the feedback, we'll do🙏😄. Thanks so much!
This is a good approach and nice alternative to the usual top 10.
Thanks so much for the feedback Scott! Will look into it for other mechanics in the future🙏
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!
Bwahahaha yes so long, I had to type it out lol. Thank you for the visit Steve!
Great video, perhaps you can do twists in deck builder? Thanks for the video. Also, love all the names, can't think of better mechanic name for each one, well done Tarrant :D
Oooh great idea. We'll think about it, thanks so much!! Hehe yes I (Stella) wouldnt be able to think of the games!
Love the series, we want more :) Thanks for introducing us to some worker placement game that we might be interested in. My wallet doesnt thank you tho haha
Wooot thanks so mcu Kaira! Sorry Kaira's wallet!
I'm surprised Underwater Cities didn't make the list.
Either Viticulture or Everdell was my first, got them at the same time
Haha so many games! OOoh nice first two games there🙏
My first was also Stona Age
Heyyy Stone Age buddy 😁
Really interesting list. Not played any of them, but had my eyes on Targi.
Surprised there was no Keyflower
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.
My favorite mechanism for sure. The new Caylus, Lords of Waterdeep, Kingsburg etc. My favorite probably Empires: Age of Discovery with the upgradable workers.
Yasss!! Empires Age of Discovery sounds like something we would like to play!!! Thanks for the mention
0:13 I was a little shocked over how long that index finger was! 🙂
I had to look...several times, I swear it was just from that angle lol
Thank you very suprising. I haven't heard f most of these games.
We mentioned why we picked them etc, hope means there are new games for you to discover!!
Stone Age was my first.
Yay samesy buddy hehe. Stella.
My first WP was Architects of the west kingdom
Wow that's a good unique one to start!
Carcassonne was my first worker placement game. It's still a great game!
Lol. Can't tell if your joking or not
@@coalitionofseekers9572 LOL. OK then.
It's popular for a reason Im sure!
Hello Stella and Tarrant! 😊
Hehe hallooo Rob😁🙏
Is there a game where other players choose your placement?
I was suprised no Lacerta games or games like Anachrony?
We mentioned Anachrony as discussion, and Gallerist in the video as part of conversation. Did you see that bit? :)
@@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!
No problemo. There are just so many games to play right 🙏😂😄. Hope you find soke new games you can give it a go
