This week on the SnakesCast, we are putting worker placement games under the microscope. Today, Friday March 24th 2017, David joins us to look at the history of worker placement, and we discuss examples of games that also have other mechanisms that work well with this one, or offer different ways of using worker placement.

Worker Placement games, Part 3 - The history of worker placement, and examples of mechanisms that work well with this one

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.
