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
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
Variable Phase Order implies that turns may not be played the same way as before and/or after.

Fun fun fun! Strongly suspect this tight and intense game will become a 9 after a few more plays. Edit: It's now a 9. What a great game! Rules are not super intuitive, but fortunately they are rather few. So are the components. Central to the game are the 13 one-off action cards. These are re-drafted every round and constitute the engine behind the game. They allow exploration (expanding the board with more tiles), movement of pawns, access to other cards etc. A multilayered area control game that is definitely more than the sum of its parts. Reminds me somewhat of Blood Rage but feels a bit more abstract and less battle oriented. Not less conflict, however. Inis is a VERY interactive game. Great with three or four. Have yet to try it with two players. It's noteworthy that in this "ancient history" themed game, the male characters on the illustrations look like musicians from psychadelic rock bands while the female characters look like 80's hair models.

Really nice combo of area control and card management. Players can get close to any of the three different paths to victory very quickly, but they can be snatched away pretty easily, too, so the game spends a lot of time right on the edge, with anybody seemingly about to win. Probably the biggest knock is its kingmaker aspect; since overwhelming victory is difficult to attain and it's pretty easy for the table to gang up on the leader, individual players, even far behind and out of the race, get a lot of say in who they want to win in the end. But that's diplomacy, a feature which is present throughout the game but is easy to forget.

Great game at 2, 3 and 4. Player count changes it dramatically. It's fast, fun and relatively easy to teach. I'd say you need at least one game to understand how all the cards work but once you do its a brilliant dudes on a map drafting game. Some may end up being put off by how the game ends, its often a massive flurry of cards that swings the game, at least thats how it appears but after a couple of games you start to appreciate that the game state is about more than just whats on the board.
