    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!❤

    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"

    • @MeepleUniversity
      @MeepleUniversity  Рік тому

      Oooh, yes it was one of my first games, and I remember thinking ooooh its great!

  • @richardscales9560
    @richardscales9560 Рік тому +1

    Architects was my first thought. The capture and release mechanism is a bit of 'take that' without it feeling too much.

    This is a good approach and nice alternative to the usual top 10.

    • @MeepleUniversity

      Thanks so much for the feedback Scott! Will look into it for other mechanics in the future🙏

    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

    Love the idea of a series like this. Great list! I added some new games to my wishlist!

    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!

    I'm surprised Underwater Cities didn't make the list.
    Either Viticulture or Everdell was my first, got them at the same time

    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

    My favorite mechanism for sure. The new Caylus, Lords of Waterdeep, Kingsburg etc. My favorite probably Empires: Age of Discovery with the upgradable workers.

    • @MeepleUniversity
      @MeepleUniversity  Рік тому

      Yasss!! Empires Age of Discovery sounds like something we would like to play!!! Thanks for the mention

    Really interesting list. Not played any of them, but had my eyes on Targi.
    Surprised there was no Keyflower

    • @MeepleUniversity
      @MeepleUniversity  Рік тому

      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.

    Thank you very suprising. I haven't heard f most of these games.

    • @MeepleUniversity
      @MeepleUniversity  Рік тому

      We mentioned why we picked them etc, hope means there are new games for you to discover!!

    Carcassonne was my first worker placement game. It's still a great game!

  • @Weplayttgames
    @Weplayttgames 2 місяці тому

    Is there a game where other players choose your placement?

  • @Mussar523
    @Mussar523 Рік тому

    I was suprised no Lacerta games or games like Anachrony?

    • @MeepleUniversity
      @MeepleUniversity  Рік тому

      We mentioned Anachrony as discussion, and Gallerist in the video as part of conversation. Did you see that bit? :)

    • @Mussar523
      @Mussar523 Рік тому

      @@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!

    • @MeepleUniversity
      @MeepleUniversity  Рік тому +1

      No problemo. There are just so many games to play right 🙏😂😄. Hope you find soke new games you can give it a go
