Closed Drafting
Closed drafting is a board game mechanic where players select cards, tiles, or other resources from a hidden pool, typically passing the unselected options to others. The element of hidden information adds suspense, strategy, and unpredictability as players make choices without full knowledge of their opponents’ decisions.
Open Drafting
Open drafting is a mechanic where players take turns selecting cards, tiles, or other game components from a shared pool that all players can see. Each choice is visible to everyone, creating a blend of strategy and interaction as players weigh their selections while considering potential choices for others.
Hand Management
Hand management is a strategic game mechanic where players make decisions about when and how to play or hold onto the cards in their hand to maximize the effectiveness of each play. Efficient use of cards is crucial to achieving game objectives, as players balance short-term actions with long-term goals.
