In this week’s video I focus on hand management games, which are games in which (a) you play cards in certain sequences or groups—timing and order of operations matters—and (b) you try to get the most value based on which cards you choose to play, keep, or discard. This sometimes includes multi-use cards, ways to gain more cards to better craft your hand, avoiding getting stuck, and your hand mattering at the end of the game.

In this video I mention Red Rising, Viticulture, Tapestry, Wingspan, and Pendulum, as well as honorable mentions Res Arcana, Battlestar Galactica, Ticket to Ride, Great Western Trail, Love Letter, Brass, Lewis & Clark, Downforce, Underwater Cities, Air, Land, and Sea, Hanabi, Kemet, Magic, and KeyForge.
