I really love The New Era.You start with drafting cards from a central pool. Then, you produce resources followed by taking any of several actions. The engines you can generate are very good and there is plenty of player interaction. For example, you can destroy opponent's cards, or cooperate with them and also receive the benefit.
You do have workers at your disposal to send to opponent locations, but it's not a true worker placement because you don't block the action.
I really like the actions in the game that allow you to redevelop locations into new ones. So if your strategy changes based on your draft, you have the flexibility to do so.
