Tabletop Game Rating

When Poker meets worker-placement - you get Tiny Epic Western!

I enjoyed it because it was quite different. I also love me some poker :)
As usual, I lost, but it was amazing fun.

I liked the board, but the tokens - not so much. I liked the Texas style. Cool!

My wife and I enjoy this one as well, but we don't break it out as often as we'd like... it's not a strong 2 player game, much more fun with 3 or 4...

'Architects of the West Kingdom is great. It’s a fresh take on worker placement, building further on Raiders’ already stellar offering, and is able to boast the same elegance in design as its predecessor but with a snappier speed.'

Theme

Elegant

Simple yet with a lot of depth

Great Example of Worker Placement

Wine Making in Tuscany, worker placement mechanics, and so elegantly done, with just enough complexity to make it interesting.

I adore this game, I love wine and this is a nearly perfect game for that theme. You send your workers out to do things, maybe it's planting some vines, upgrading the buildings, picking the grapes, crushing them, or maybe bottling them. But you only have so many of them, unless you hire and train new ones. Also maybe you should give some tours so you can make some money. This is a great game, also good games like this would be Stone Age and Lord of Waterdeep.

Mar 19, 2019

'Evil High Priest is a unique take on the worker placement games that I enjoyed. I liked the balancing of getting vs. protecting resources, using your two different types of cultists on four different boards and, specifically, the race to shatter Elder Signs on the cult board.'
