I was putting my collection back together after redecorating over the weekend and noticed a distinct lack of worker placement games in my collection!

We've played (and enjoyed!) Architects of the West Kingdom and Tiny Epic Dinosaurs in the past, but both belong to a friends collection and don't want to overlap with them.

What worker placement games do you own and enjoy?

Lords of Waterdeep

Raiders of the North Sea

Paladins of the West Kingdom

Waterdeep is so purely worker replacement.

It was my entry game too, so it holds a special place in my heart. The biggest downside to it for me is that there is almost no theme at all, so I don't really play it anymore except to introduce to new people. Sure, it's D&D themed, but it's incredibly thin. To the point where it doesn't need to be D&D and you could slap almost any other theme over it and it would work fine.
