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
Tile Placement games feature placing a piece to score VPs, with the amount often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like color, "feature completion", cluster size etc.
Tile Placement
In games with a trading mechanic, the players can exchange game items between each other.
Trading
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

The possibility of even big explorations failing due to the nature of topdecking, with zero compensation, is unacceptable in a competitive game. The take money action and the explore action should be combined, where you take money if your explore fails. Even then, I think I've fully outgrown my patience for topdecking as a mechanic. I'd rather stand around throwing eggs at each other's genitals and screaming "opa!" When they finally break. The round timer is so short compared to the opportunity to use leader powers that they rarely trigger and are a needless complication. Unless we got a rule wrong, cars are so much better than men, and just as easy to produce (maybe easier if double oil production platforms are in the game) that men are useless. I think automation chits hurt the game relative to archipelago where there was a positional game around which buildings to inhabit. Still a great romp.

This has much of the special sauce that has made Archipelago an enduring classic. At first look, this game seemed too simple without much depth in the mechanisms. But Boelinger very cleverly has made them all interlock with each other in fascinating ways. This really is Catan but with the planet punching back and forcing players to interact in very interesting ways. Your brain will break as you try to map out the consequences of yours and everyone else's dice selections.
