Card drafting games are games in which players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some advantage (immediate or longterm) or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game.
Card Drafting
Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
In games with a trading mechanic, the players can exchange game items between each other.

The current BGG average rating for this game is unfairly low. This game is much better, for numerous reasons. It's an excellent strategy game. It's an intriguing thematic game. It's a daring design that seeks to do both theme and strategy well, AND blend this also with a heavy does of players creating story as they play through the game. That's a tall challenge to make work, and this game does all of that well.

This was a fun game. I love the command cards mechanics, although it's an ugly game. The board is ugly, and the few minis each army has are mediocure. I'm also not a fan of having my army split between a few large minis and a handful of cardboard discs. I don't see this game getting a board or components upgrade any time soon, so I'm hoping someone else takes this game's command card mechanics and throws them into a beautiful game someday. Hasbro, you suck. (Update: Yes! I discovered Concordia, Century: Spice Road, Nemesis & Gloomhaven use command cards!)

Deluxe version comes with painted minis - lukewarm DT review even though it was on Sam's most anticipated list (medium weight per Tom unlike most dudes on a map which are light or heavy)
