Action Drafting in Board Games
What is Action Drafting?
Action drafting is a board game mechanic that involves players selecting actions from a limited pool each turn. Unlike other drafting mechanics, where players pick cards or resources, action drafting specifically refers to the choices of actions players will take.
How Does it Work?
In games featuring action drafting, a common set of actions is available to all players. Each turn, players take turns selecting from these actions, and once an action is chosen, it is typically unavailable to others for that round. This process encourages strategic planning and forethought.
Examples of Games
- Puerto Rico: Each player chooses a role that grants an action. The chosen roles are unavailable to others in the same round.
- Agricola: Players send family members to spots on the board to take specific actions, blocking that spot for the round.
Impact on Gameplay
Action drafting creates interactive game sessions where players must anticipate opponents' moves. It balances individual strategy with adaptability, often resulting in dynamic and engaging play.
