From BoardGameGeek
From an early age, you gazed in awe as intrepid warriors journeyed through your quaint, slumbering hamlet. Against your parents' instruction, you stealthily observed them, acquiring a few clandestine skills during their fleeting visits. Now, the moment has arrived to transcend your abilities and forge the path of a legendary adventurer, leaving your mark on places far and wide throughout the realm. Effortless is a lightweight worker placement game with elements of set-collection and a dash of take-that for 1-5 players. On your turn, you will place an effort at one of the 6 locations randomly selected during set up and add a card to your growing hand. Once all players have exhausted their effort, they will gain Greatness, based on the cards in their hand and where they have applied their efforts. Due to a randomized setup, no two games will be the same! From a Hidden Coliseum to an Eerie Market, where will your next adventure take you? Can you make becoming the greatest feel Effortless? -description from the publisher
