Winchester Draft is good for cube or when drafting with 2 or 4 players.
It works like this
- First decide with a die who goes first.
- Each player sets 2 cards from their shuffled boosters in front of them, these 4 cards set the 4 piles that we will be using.
- Each time you pick a pile you pick all the cards in it.
- After each pick you each players sets 2 cards to each pile in front of him, maintaining the amount of piles in same 4.
This way the piles that are not picked normally grow to have more cards than the others, and growing until one of the players picks it. Drafting continues until all 3 boosters of each player are completely empty.
What is the best “pile” you have picked in Winchester draft?
