Merchants of Andromeda is a meta-game featuring five different mini-games, all linked together through the use of drafting and bidding off action cards. On each player's turn, they draw three cards from the Event Deck that drives the action of the game. The player then chooses one card to discard (for a resource), one to keep (to complete an action), and one to auction off to the entire table (where the winning player gets the resource and gets to complete the action).

If you dip back to early July of this year, we released our annual Gen Con preview article, where we talked about our most anticipated board games of the convention. It's always enjoyable to look over the hundreds of new releases for the convention and figure out which one has sparked your interest the most. And for me, it was Tag Team from publisher Scorpion Masque.

Bill Belichick's poor drafting led to picking receivers like N'Keal Harry over A.J. Brown and D.K. Metcalf, resulting in a competitive yet uncertain situation for the Patriots.
