Worker Placement
Worker Placement games require players to use a limited number of “workers”, often times represented by Meeples, to acquire various resources, actions or cards.
Drafting
A drafting game gives players a selection of cards from which they will select a number of them specified by the game, take them for their own private stash of usable cards or tiles and then they will pass the remaining cards to the other player(s) so they can do the same.
Cooperative
A cooperative game requires the players to work together to accomplish a common goal.
