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
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.
Variable Player Powers
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

Worker placement, with each player having workers in three colours and the values of those colours randomised each turn. The many placement options all require workers of a minimum value. Reminiscent of Lancaster, the worker's value can be boosted by the addition of servants. Beyond that, the game is an efficiency puzzle that rewards specialisation. Rather like Marco Polo, the cluttered board suggests a more complex game than it really is. Indeed, Lorenzo plays reasonably quickly with a minimum of fiddle. Despite the titles of the cards and the faith track, there's little feel of Medici Florence; Lorenzo is a pretty abstract assemblage of euro mechanisms. The artwork is easy on the eye and production quality is good.

Interesting mechanisms, interesting engine building, but even as a diehard Euro fan, this is too much cubepushing for me. You don't really seem to have a goal except for "get more stuffs". I like, but I don't love.

Wonderfully streamlined game with several clever mechanics. Deliciously tight resource balance (infuriating in a good way?) might invite analysis paralysis, but the silky smooth design also has safety nets aplenty to help out poor planning (you more or less lose a step when you miscalculate). I love the worker placement concepts here - fighting over first move in various columns comes up *just* enough to encourage careful planning, but tactical reactions if you wait a turn too long. Very nice and would like to play it again.
