What is this?
Hand management revolves around making the most of a limited set of cards. Players must constantly weigh priorities, judge when a card will be most useful, and often discard something valuable to enable a stronger play later.
Examples of hand management
Concordia requires careful timing of action cards to maintain flexibility, while Ticket to Ride uses hand management to build toward route completion. Brass: Birmingham ties hand use directly to available actions and locations.
