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.

Chance find from Essen that quickly rose to the ranks of the favorites. Nostalgic for those of us who as children made fantasy creatures out of cardboard cards with animal parts, this is the "adult version" with a strategy component that should not be underestimated. Luck plays a role, but is rarely the deciding factor. The game learns quickly and can thus be played briskly even with a new group; the duration of the game depends very much on the players. The manual is good, but some information is scattered and one is looking for one or the other detail, especially if one has not played for a long time. For this, overviews that list the relevant information on the setup, evaluation, rules in bullet points together would be advantageous. The material is of high quality and the illustrations are very beautiful (so beautiful that we also bought the book) and you can tell in all parts of the game that it was developed with passion and expertise.

Love the artwork and theme but takes way too long and is just too convoluted for what it is. My eldest didn't like the kids' version either and said she'd rather play Evolution. Disappointing.

The Mechanics are perfectly connected to their biological background. So you rather understand the rules than just lear them. Everything feels plausible and thought through. The game is accessible for a younger audience but it has enough depth for experienced players as well. A must buy.
