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.
If you've played & enjoyed Architects of the West Kingdom, Paladins of the West Kingdom is a great option. It is different enough that it won't feel like it's overlapping with your friends game, but with complimentary symbology/ graphics so it'll make it easier to learn
