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
Maneuvers that directly attack an opposing player's strength, level, life points or do something else to impede their progress.

Pros: + Unique theme + Fast playing, easy to setup + Unique bluffing mechanism Cons: - Card draw dependent - Card effects not balanced - Shallow depth of strategy

2019-08-26 - 7 - A game of building and bluffing, which can give you quite some fun! I had good time with it and I will play it more. 2019-09-29 - 7->5.5 - The first game was fun. The second was not as good, but I've played with 3 players. Now, after the third play I think that the game gets samey and what's worse, the luck of a draw/draft that gives you industrial buildings will lead you to getting a lot of points playing against the spirit of the game (just produce action) and noone can stop you, because your buildings are real and your opponents can't make more than 2 points per action, while you get 2 or 3 every time.. That's a shame, because the concept of this game is great.

I was a bit weary about the game balance, but it seems well balanced and it's very fun. The trick is that there's an overwhelming abundance of fake cards and it sucks missing with a spy, so there's plenty of bluffing but only very impactful calls of bluffs. Most cards are pretty worthless, which makes the draft a bit pointless, but the concept of drafting in a bluffing game works well. It's simple, fast and yet a bit more meaty than most bluffing games. It's pretty and unique and I recommend it!
