Draft Types Explained

Pick a draft type to jump to its explanation.

Snake Draft

Snake Draft

A snake draft is a turn-based pick system where players select items one at a time in a fixed order. At the end of every round the pick order flips — so if round 1 goes 1 → 2 → 3, round 2 goes 3 → 2 → 1. This "snake" pattern means the player who picked last always gets the first pick of the next round, keeping things fair for everyone across all rounds. The draft ends once every player has made their full set of picks.

Auction

Auction

In an auction draft every player starts with the same number of credits. Players take turns nominating an item to put up for auction, then everyone bids for it in real time. The highest bidder wins the item and pays their bid. The key twist: you must always keep at least 1 credit per remaining pick — so you can never go fully broke. Spend wisely early, or you'll have nothing left for the items you really want later.

Survivor

Survivor

Each round you pick one item you believe will win — before a deadline set by the owner. Once the deadline passes, the owner closes the round and reveals which items won. Pick correctly and you survive. Pick wrong and you lose a life. Run out of lives and you're eliminated. The last player (or players) still standing wins. You can never reuse an item you've already picked in a previous round, so your choices become harder as the game goes on.

Blind Draft

Blind Draft

In a blind draft everyone secretly picks the item they think will win — without seeing anyone else's choice. Once the deadline hits, all picks are revealed at the same time. The owner then declares the winning item. Every player who picked the winner shares the prize pool equally. The strategy is in the odds: a popular pick splits the pot with more winners, while a bold, contrarian call pays more if you're right.
