Episode 162 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Drafting, Part One

Brendan is back in the saddle, and we settle down to part one in a two (or more) part series on drafting in board games. This episode is specifically on drafting as a mechanism and how this common mechanism shows up in games. It's a mechanism survey folks. Sound the alarm!
