This week on the SnakesCast, we are putting worker placement games under the microscope. Today, Monday March 20th 2017, we explain the mechanism and some of its most common traits, and look at some examples of accessible worker placement games to get you started.

Worker Placement games, Part 1 - What is the worker placement mechanic, and what are some examples?

The world of tabletop games is a lot bigger than most people realize. In fact it's so big that the idea of investigating it can actually be kind of intimidating. When you see all those games you've never heard of, with rules and concepts and themes you've never seen before in a game, it's hard to know where to start.
The answer is: start with the SnakesCast. Every week, we'll bring you ten or fifteen minutes' worth of banter about what makes these games worth playing. With a different theme every episode and a rotating cast of both gurus and non-gurus from Toronto's premiere boardgame café, we'll show you just how much there is to play with out there.
