Yeah. It got recommended to me as an easier Tzolkin. Well, it IS easier but not anywhere near as interesting and every game feels sooo samey.

Yeah. I like worker placement games, but Stone Age seems to think "oh player X goes before you this turn and gets dibs on spot Y so revise your plans" is the most interesting part of worker-placement. Which, no, it isn't. It's an important mechanic, but it feels like that and collect-em-up is basically the whole game in Stone Age.
