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
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.

I'm looking for the new version. (I know it's still a pre-order! Some day this comment will be relevant...)

Played it a couple of times now. While the premise is not bad at all (although not original either), I can not put this one over other action selection coop games that I absolutely adore (see Pandemic etc) over this. This is a slightly clunkier version of this category with a better theme wrapped around it but with (to my current albeit limited experience)a big impact originating from the characters around the table that could lead into null sessions. This could also be said about Pandemic where even the initial shuffling of the deck could be doom even before you start the game (even if you do not know that at the time)but the spiraling drop to inferno is more enticing for me in those games rather that in the Captain is Dead.

I really like this co-op space romp. It feels more like star trek than even some other star trek games feel. The art is different but nice, and the game plays well...and once you have it down fairly fast for what it is. Also, it can be played solo which is a plus.
