Calimala
Players act as cloth merchants in medieval Florence, assigning trusted employees to streets that link action spaces around the city. On a turn, a player places an action disc between two adjacent actions to perform both and to activate any other discs on that connection. Discs left on a connection accumulate until the fourth placement promotes the lowest disc to the city council, triggering a scoring phase. Players produce and deliver cloth, fund and decorate buildings, and pursue secret objectives while action positions and the order of council scorings vary each game.

Garfield2.0 It happens a lot that the players before your turn takes the actions you want. I just didn't like the whole game, the theme the actions, everything is just not special enough to play it again.
