Deck building/Pool building refers to a collection of related mechanisms. Players have a personal pool, or collection, of cards or tokens, that provide different actions and/or resources. A subset of those cards/tokens are randomly drawn each turn.
Deck / Pool Building
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
Games with partnerships offer players a set of rules for alliances and teams. Partners are often able to win as a team, or penalties are enforced for not respecting alliances

Best Two player game in my collection. !!!!Everyone that says it has too much luck involved is making poor choices in their actions!!!!!!!!! You can manipulate the amount of luck involved in the game by the various actions you can make through out the game. A player that knows how to manipulate the luck will win 100% of the time with any units against someone who just keeps recruiting and filling their bag with luck. Your actions will determine whether your bag is unpredictable or guaranteed to give you the piece you need at the right time. The game has more depth than any review gives it credit for. The quality of the pieces are top notch as well. The game only really lasts 10-15 mins but with unit drafting and different matchups this game can be played for hours and leave you still thinking about unit combinations and tactics.

==2020/01/21== I felt apathetic after my first game. It's fine? The game is basically two systems put together. The skirmish game on the board, and the bag building on your side of the table. The bag building introduces a sort of economy (though there are no currencies in this game), in terms of how you seed the probabilities of drawing or not drawing certain coin types. The game has a bit of overlap with Exceed. In Exceed, you've always got an eye on what's left in your deck and what you might draw next. In War Chest, your ability to make plays is likewise dependent on your draws. HOWEVER, I found that the limited future foresight made the game more cautious. In the skirmish half of the game, movement and attacking are so slow and expensive that the game turned into a bitter stalemate. Neither player wants to move a unit into danger if you can't guarantee activating them soon after. You can't manage your hand to prepare for a big play later in the game. It seems like high-level strategy for the game probably would focus on managing your bag to make draws more likely that enable big plays. The skirmish part of the game didn't convince me to like skirmish games. The bag building part makes me wonder about other bag building games.

Decent abstract game with a bag building twist. Not sure if I like randomness in my abstracts though, while it makes it more tactical, a bad draw can completely throw off any long term strategies. Not that I have any strategies, I suck terribly at this. Works quite well as a team vs team game.
