Good picks. Our favorite hand management game is Century Spice Road or Golem Edition. It's deckbuilding adjacent if your whole deck were to be in your hand. I really like the balance between choosing to spend a turn adding a new card to your hand vs. playing a card that you already have to convert resources. Also, choosing when to spend a whole turn to pick up your discards back into your hand is often a very strategic choice if you are racing an opponent to have the right combination of resources first.
Yes, that is a great one as well, and the Century games also have a unique take on hand management. This was one of my favorite videos for this series just because there are so many different ways this mechanism works in various games.
@MerlinsManor It is co-designed by Richard Garfield of MTG fame. They have done 2 crownfunding campaigns, releasing 3 standalone sets so far, and are launching a 3rd campaign to bring what looks like two more sets very soon.

Mindbug is also another great one. It's a puzzle every time to figure out how to use your very limited number of cards to beat your opponent.
I have not heard of Mindbug; I will have to look into that one.
