Agricola is one of my favorite games, but I agree it's not very social. I've also tried All Creatures Big & Small and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. The constant tension to feed your people is gone and it's one reason I like Agricola over all other worker placement games.

Not sure I agree about Mount Everest. My wife and I really enjoy it and your game can totally be messed up if the guests die because they lose you so many points. I'd love to get K2 as well but it's way out of print and getting a copy is ridiculously over priced. Definitely looking out of it if it ever returns to print.

That's a good point - I do like the "feed your people" pressure. The pay your workers in Kitchen Rush has a similar feel, albeit wildly different games.
