The early game, pretty much the first two or three turns is generally nothing but tile drafting. While this stage may seem uninteresting, it is at this point that the players start revealing what tiles they drew in the game setup and which of the various basic game patterns they intend to follow in the game. It can be a very subtle and careful period, a sort of game before the game.
