Worker Placement Recommendations (lemmy.world)

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?

I didn't realize how many worker placement games I own until I started going through them. These are the ones I would recommend:

Caylus (I consider this a top one, but can be a bit hard to explain to beginners)
Stone Age (Classic and easy to teach)
Leonardo Da Vinci (I have not seen this one around as much recently but is always loved

Some have said Agricola, I'm iffy on if this is actual a worker placement, to me it is more turn based, with the "workers" just representing taken spots. But, if we are counting Agricola, then I would of course put in for Agricola, but argue highly for its much better cousin--La Harve.
