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
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.

Die Idee des Spiels ist meiner Meinung nach fantastisch. Leider krankt das Spiel an diversen mechanischen Schwächen, die jeglichen Wiederspielreiz verhindern. Optisch sehen die zusammengestellten Tiere aber ganz unterhaltsam aus.

The game sounds fun with an interesting theme (I really like [thing=155703][/thing]) which makes players create strange creatures in a competition to make the most adapt creature in a given biome. The game has colourful cards, is nice to look at and inspires your creativity and imagination (especially if you introduce you species and "flesh" them out). Unfortunately I found my first learning game to be very chaotic with lots of moving parts, a lot of book-keeping (who is most adapt in their biome) and very hard to process information (all the colourful cards and chits laying on the table district the eye and make it hard to focus). Even just processing the cards in my hand wasn't that easy because the cards come in two sizes, and depending on the artwork are laid out differently (name and effects in various regions). One of the most inconvenient card-games. Last but not least, the rulebook (the German one at least). I was constantly flipping pages back and forth in search of rules. The amount of text with changing font-types didn't help at all, but made reading more strenuous. On top of all that I would have structured the rules differently - in its current form many rules are not where I would have put them (e.g. when carnivores eat a omni- or herbivore, how much food that species gives isn't under carnivores but instead under the section for herbivores).
