I sold Agricola and got Caverna, then reaquired Agricola and sold Caverna. The struggle is real. But I'm firmly on team Agricola now.
You and me both!
Same. The cards just elevate it. I sold caverna and havent looked back.
Such a great list! Worker placement is my favorite genre and I own and love most of these. That said, this gave me a good excuse to get Raiders of Scythia, AND I have been curious about Circadians for a while but I almost never see anyone mention it. I adore Garphill so I should have known it'd be good.
The ONLY reason I can imagine Dwellings of Eldervale isn’t on here is because you haven’t played it? Best worker placement ever!!
I agree with you
The best WP game I have ever played has to be Barrage, and with the expansion The Leeghwater Project it becomes exceptional!!! Best game in my collection
I could not agree more on Agricola. I’d add Underwater Cities to the mix. Also, the expansion is incredible and I have not even tried all of the modules.
Just started the video but wanted to note that shirt is awesome!
It’s one of my faves!
nice list!
Love architects of the west kingdom with both expansions.
Not top of my list but godfather is a fun theme for a worker placement. And Stone Age gets a mention because it was my first worker placement.
Good list. I would add Genotype, The Loop, Honey Buzz and Obsession to the mix.
Champions of midgard
Lost ruins of arnak
Rajas of the ganges are some of my favorites not mentionned
Thanks for another great video, Jack! Do I need Raiders of Scythia when I already own Raiders of the North Sea with both expansions? I'm very curious to check out Circadians First Light. My favorite Worker Placement games are Stone Age, Architects of the West Kingdom, Underwater Cities, Agricola and Lords of Waterdeep.
You’re welcome, and no you don’t need both though personally I prefer the theme and it consolidates some of the material from the North Sea expansions and the base game. Def too much overlap to keep both though. Thanks for the kind words; cheers from Alaska!
@@TheCardboardHerald Thank you for the quick reply. I really appreciate it!
Ya gotta try Empires: Age of Discovery. My favorite game period.
The perfect worker placement imo
I've added it to the list!
I own lords of waterdeep which is my all time favorite ,dune imperium and stone age which didnt make your list but i agree with it.overall good list
I don't have most of the games that you mention, exception Viticulture and Dune: Imperium, which I also enjoy tremendously. Beyond those, and based on what I do have, I've also enjoyed Empires of the North (not sure if it really qualifies as a Worker Placement game?) as well as Paladins of the West Kingdom (which is a Garphill game).
Nice list… my only problem with viticulture is the contracts are too swingy. I strongly feel there should be a lettering system based on how many rounds players have gone. I have played this a lot and have lost and won this game. But most people that have lost in my experiences with it lost because they get lesser payout with the contract
Viticulture is my favorite too. But I love wine.
Any thoughts on Champions of Midgard?
Actually I made a whole vid about my recent (and former) thoughts on it titled “Falling Out of Love of Midgard”. Here’s a link but long story short I’ve played it many many times and while I’ve owned and loved it I grew out of it where some of these other games I’ve not grown out of in the same number of plays or amount of time. th-cam.com/video/Fu5VEntrBdg/w-d-xo.html
@@TheCardboardHerald Nice! Watching right now :D
For me Anachrony, Bitoku, Crystal Palace, Barrage, Trickerion and Feast for Odin join Viticulture, Ciracadians, Everdell and Marco Polo.

Great list! I agree with Viticulture, it's just such a smooth system.
I know, right? The game just flows.
@@TheCardboardHerald and soo refreshing to have someone say that you don't HAVE to have Tuscany! i have both, but the base game is excellent as is - although you would never know that to hear the way other reviewers speak of it.
Viticulture ⚡️
Lost ruins of arnak and Atlantis rising
Yes! Atlantis Rising! really looking forward to the expension too
No Feast for Odin? Denied! It combines worker placement with Tetris!
Agreed - give a Feast for Odin a try!
Too many fiddly bits and too massive of a setup for me. I love the concept tho
