#45: Stone Age
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34635/stone-age
Year released: 2008
Placement on last year's list: 15

Stone Age is another game that had a pretty big drop from last time. It's a worker placement game about sending your workers out to get resources. You roll a die for every worker you send out and you get resources based on how high you roll. One problem is that it relies really heavily on how you roll. There are ways to help your roll a little, but for the most part that doesn't really help you if you roll all 1s and 2s. There's also a strategy I've seen that involves not feeding your workers and taking a 10 point loss every round, which really isn't much of a penalty when you don't have to worry about food at all. I think it would be better if you just lost one worker if you couldn't feed them all. Other than that though, it's a good introductory worker placement game and I still enjoy it. I guess it dropped a little mostly because I've been preferring to play other worker placement games instead.

There's a 10th anniversary edition coming out later this year with better components and a double sided winter board that adds a more difficult variant. I don't own Stone Age so I thought about getting it, but it's pricey!

#44: There are 4 different characters in this game and the one on the cover of the box is the blue character.

It's kinda coincidental how like in most games pigs are evil.
