Pixie Queen
Players command a band of pixies serving an autocratic queen, competing to satisfy her whims while avoiding penalty points. Each round players steal resources from nearby human settlements, assign action disks to a large tableau of over twenty possible actions to gather goods and manipulate positions, and make simultaneous offerings of food, silver, or gold to match the Queen’s current cravings. Rewards such as promotion of pixies, improved trading positions, or golden rings are resolved after offerings, and penalty points are handed out for failing the Queen’s demands. The game runs up to seven rounds with multiple strategic paths to minimize penalties and secure endgame bonuses.

Eurogame that combines many mechanics on a very original way: Worker Placement, Bidding, Area Control, Resource Management. I really like the theme, the art, and the unique vibe it has. It's a bit messy but it's very fun to play.
