Reykholt

Reykholt is a charming and quick-playing worker placement game that caught my attention with its unique theme of growing vegetables in Iceland. The game's components are top-notch, with beautiful artwork and high-quality pieces. The rules are straightforward and easy to learn, making it a perfect choice for family game nights or casual gatherings.

The gameplay is centered around strategically placing your workers on the board to gather resources, grow vegetables, and advance on the tourist track. The service cards add a layer of depth and provide interesting choices for players, while the bonus system offers a way to catch up if you fall behind. Each round consists of a few simple phases, creating a fast-paced and engaging experience.

While the game's simplicity makes it accessible for everyone, some players have pointed out that it lacks replayability. The static tourist track and limited number of service card combinations might make the game feel repetitive after several plays. I agree that there's a definite learning curve to understanding the best strategies, but once you've mastered them, the game might not offer enough variety to keep you coming back for more.

Overall, Reykholt is a fun and visually appealing game that is sure to please those looking for a light and quick worker placement experience. If you're a fan of the genre and enjoy games with a simple yet strategic core, this game is worth checking out. However, if you're seeking deep strategic complexity and high replayability, you might want to consider other options.
