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?

You can pry them out of my cold dead hands. 4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc. 4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience. 3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad. 3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep. 2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again 1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend 1.0 - A game that is just bad.
