The closest one I've run into is Agricola: it's almost pure skill ('almost' because there is an optional set of 'occupation' cards that get randomly distributed at the beginning of the game). The theme is building out the best farm by the end of a set number of turns.

The main thrust of the game is for players to take turns choosing actions from a limited common pool that is reset at the beginning of each turn. One of the actions is 'go first next turn'. Everyone ends up competing for actions. The game seems complicated at first but is actually fairly simple. Great fun!

If you like Agricola, try La Havre. Same guy, better game, similar amounts of luck. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35677/le-havre
