Harvest
Harvest review
Harvest is a delightful worker placement game that's easy to learn but offers a surprising amount of strategic depth. The theme of farming in a whimsical animal-filled world immediately drew me in, and the art style is charming and inviting. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the components, with the chunky wooden wheelbarrows and cute button score markers adding a tactile element to the experience.
The gameplay is simple yet engaging, with players strategically placing their wheelbarrows to gather resources, tend their fields, and build their farms. The unique character abilities and sunrise cards add a layer of variety and encourage different playstyles, ensuring that each game feels fresh.
I appreciated the efficient gameplay and the way it encourages strategic planning and efficient use of resources. While some might find the game a bit on the lighter side, I felt that the strategic decisions kept me engaged throughout.
The solo mode is a nice addition, offering a series of challenges to test your skills. The rulebook is well-written and clear, making it easy to learn the game.
Overall, Harvest is a charming and engaging game that I highly recommend for both casual and experienced gamers. It's a great choice for families or game nights with friends, and the beautiful components and whimsical theme make it a joy to play.
