OT Fantasy Draft is a board game released in 2022 for 1–5 players, 20–45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Lance Hill and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Solo / Solitaire Game, and Open Drafting.
OT Fantasy Draft is a card drafting game where each player drafts a team of Old Testament characters, locations, and things that will create the best combos and score the most points. Games are quick and the rules easy to pick up, but the decisions will be hard! A game of OT Fantasy Draft lasts for seven rounds. Every round begins with the Starting Player and then proceeds around the table clockwise until everyone has had a turn. On each player’s turn they will: Take (draft) a card from the Draftline. Place the card in front of themselves, forming their drafted team. A new card is drawn from the top of the Draw Pile to replace the missing card. Play passes to the next player. If it is the last player’s turn, instead discard the leftover cards in the Draftline, draw five new cards from the Draw Pile, and begin a new round with the player who went last the previous round. After the end of the 7th round, players add their secret card to their Drafted Team and proceed to score their hand. The player with the most points wins! —description from the publisher
