Worker placement with actual risks and thrills. All the twists of finding out an item can be good or bad or maybe both. Maybe the reveal at the end is too number-crunchy, but I like to think of it as the silence before announcing the winner.

OWACON
Order by 15:00 Italian time for same-day dispatch, Monday to Friday.
Delivery in Italy normally takes 1 business day, 2 for the islands.
OWACON is a board game where players, as automatons, must piece together the lost memories of humanity. In a ruined world, you will gather fragments and compete for victory points. Each turn offers strategic actions to gain items and peek at opponents' memory cards. Games last about 40 minutes for 3-4 players, ages 13 and up.
- 33 cards (63.5mmx88.0mm)
Code of Nine — first released as Old World And Code Of Nine or OWACON — is a card-based board game in which the goal is to puzzle together long-gone memories. Players battle for victory points (VPs), but what will generate VPs is decided by eight so-called memory cards that are dealt at the start of the game, with each player getting to look at only two of these.
Each round, players choose actions that gain certain items such as coins, books, statues or legacies, or perhaps to peek at the other players' memory cards.
After five rounds, the score is calculated, and whoever has the most points wins.

Players: 3-4, Best: 4 Playing Time: 40 Minutes Complexity: 2.40 A surprisingly solid worker placement game. Play as AI competing to build the best memorial to humanity. With 5 rounds and 3 actions per round every choice matters. However you only know a fraction of how the game will be scored and must find out more.
This is my favorite 4 player exclusive game of all time. Although it technically has a 3 player variant, in my experience its not even worth trying.
A quick and fun worker placement game with a great twist. Unlike normal worker placements where the components have fixed victory points, this game uses a mechanic known as "memories" that dictates the end game scoring and the only way to discover all of the memories is to balance resource gathering with attacks on other players. Very cool premise with great artwork and fast play (generally 45 minutes). Only negative is in some games a memory can completely undo your plans and if you don't see it until later in the game it is very hard to recover.
very particular game...kind of "strange" positive or negative points salad ,but very very fun !!!!
