Card and dice drafting games
24 games in this collection.
Drafting games ask you to choose from a limited supply of cards or dice while other players make their own picks. Some pass hands around the table; others use a shared display. Every pick also decides what is left for the next player. Drafting games tend to play quickly, so a rules video can be short. Watching one round makes the format clear and shows how much you can plan around what others leave behind.
