Tenpenny Parks

Tenpenny Parks is a fun and engaging worker placement game with a charming theme. The artwork and components are top-notch, and the gameplay is surprisingly deep for a game that plays in around 30-40 minutes. You'll be working to build your own theme park, placing workers to take actions like removing trees, building attractions, and buying property. The game is all about optimizing your park to attract the most visitors (VP tokens) and ultimately win.

One of the things I really enjoy about Tenpenny Parks is the strategic depth. There are many different ways to approach the game, and each player's strategy will likely be different. The game is also quite tense, as each move counts and you'll often be competing with other players for the best spots on the board. However, this tension is a good thing, as it keeps the game exciting and engaging. The game is also surprisingly replayable, as there are many different strategies and combinations of attractions that you can use.

Some reviewers have pointed out that the game might be a bit light for experienced gamers, and that there's not a lot of "meat" to the strategy. Personally, I think this is a bit unfair. While Tenpenny Parks may not be the most complex worker placement game out there, it's still a well-designed and engaging game with a lot of replayability. The game is also a great option for introducing new players to the genre, as the rules are relatively simple to learn and the game plays quickly.

Overall, I highly recommend Tenpenny Parks. It's a fun, engaging, and well-designed game that is sure to be a hit with anyone who enjoys theme park games or worker placement games. The game's charming theme, high-quality components, and surprisingly deep gameplay make it a winner in my book.
