Using the pattern
Discard Piles may be used as Drafting Spreads - basic Rummy uses this in a limited sense (only the last played Card can be taken) but a common variant is to use the entire Discard Pile as a Drafting Spread.
Drafting Spreads can cause First Player Advantages since these are more likely to have good choices than later players (no other players have already had the chance to take the best elements). This can be regulated through having an additional cost for accessing elements further down in the spreads as a Balancing Effects; Showmanager and Small World has this through requiring Money to be spent (and in Small World this Money is placed on the skipped races and can be collected in later drafts) while Thunderstone imposes "darkness penalties" for attacking Enemies deeper down in the dungeon. While these types of Balancing Effects are really only needed in the beginning of games, most games that introduce them have them throughout gameplay as a way of requiring players to make Trade-Offs.
