There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

Century Spice Road as a worker placement game. Perfunctory as a game. Sid Sackson's Bazaar is still preferred as the best game of this type.

This small engine-building, trading, worker placement game is made even better by the fact that it is a race game. The worker placement aspect of it is the weakest part (especially with the use of people rather than time units specifically since that is what is more precisely being bid, and it isn’t clear what your role is that you’d have lots of men..?) and especially since there isn’t much new there, except of course that the workers are more straightforwardly a currency that is also bid with. The small worker pieces are a bit fiddly, especially since they are handled so often in great numbers whenever you clear the board. Where Spice Road I thought nailed the theme, this loses a little by adding more stuff on top that could be pared back to the more abstract representation of what is actually being exchanged.

Really want to rate this higher. The game itself is very smooth and plays very nicely, but the cardstock game and player boards really detract from the overall experience, imho.
