Canvas (Kickstarter – Deluxe Pledge)
30m - 30m
1 - 5 Players
Ages 14+
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
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.

Canvas is gorgeous, and one of the easiest card-drafting and set-collection games to play with newcomers to the hobby. But, beyond that, there doesn't appear to be enough strategic depth to make you want to play it again and again. With 2 players, the card market is far too static and the small supply of Inspiration tokens seriously constrains your drafting options, to the extent that we felt quite railroaded into picking suboptimal cards on our turns. Perhaps with a slightly larger player count, the churn of cards and the token availability improves the overall playability of the game, but I'll probably hold off on returning to it until then.

The game is absolutely beautiful. The gameplay is rather simple and not very challenging, but it is worth playing just for the uniqueness of the components. The game plays quickly and is a great for family game night. My youngest gets caught up in making what she considers the best looking painting and loses sight of the scoring yet still just loves the game.
