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
Player elimination occurs in multiple-player games (>2) when a player can be eliminated from the game and play continues without the eliminated player.

I made a full PNP of Cryptic Explorers. It was a helluva work, but totally worth it. Came out really nice! https://boardgamegeek.com/image/6559435/cryptic-explorers More comments coming later, but my group is really enjoying this game. And if you are not a fan of competive game - you can easily play this rpg-style (where story is more inportant than winning).

A 2-4 player 1-vs-many game of interdimensional explorers against an omnipotent goddess of death! Although a few minor misprinted tokens slightly harm the presentation, it must be said that this is an incredibly tense game that requires real tactical flexibility and planning in order to win. There is also a hefty amount of replayability due to the ~40 cryptonauts, 6 goddesses of death, and 6 maps to choose from! Finally, this game also presents a dark and dangerous world with surprisingly deep background lore, for those that care about such things!
