Drafting
Drafting is a means of distributing cards (or other game elements) to players through an ordered, closed selection process - typically "select and pass".
A typical implementation involves each player being dealt the same number of cards. Players then select one (or more) card(s) to keep, and pass the rest to their left. This continues until all cards are selected or discarded. 7 Wonders implements this type of draft.
An alternative is that only one player is dealt cards, and they take one and pass it until all players have cards. This obviously is strongly biased towards the first player, and needs to be supported thematically and balance-wise. Citadels implements this type of draft.
This is distinct from Card Drafting, with involves selection from a public display.
Examples: 7-wonders, Sushi Go!, Blood Rage, Bunny kingdom, Villagers.
