==Deck==
Here's a random deck of cards all in a list. As the cards get drawn, just delete them from the front of the list: <br/>
2C  10C  2H  10H  JH  KS  AC  9C  KH  4H  JS  5S  QS  AD  6D  9H  KD  6C  10D  JC  4S  5H  7H  3H  2D  3D  10S  KC  7C

==Order of Suits==
The order of suits is rather unusual, reproduced here for reference:
:'''Hearts, Clubs, Spades, Diamonds'''

==Discussion==

1. Jon, I don't know how much thought you've given to handling the cards in actual play (you probably have), but here's a suggestion:

When we will contribute to Desires, let's make sure to just write +1 card or something similar, only revealing its value when the Desire is resolved. Otherwise, it'll totally ruin the game.
:'''--Paul'''


:Ok, that's a good suggestion. I just realized that we can just write the # of cards for each Desire sheet, and then I can randomly determine which ones get drawn from the deck by throwing a die, for example. If you play from a card in your hand, however, we'll have to put that card down explicitly.

2. The "order of suits" thing always makes people laugh (and sometimes "at me" as opposed to "with me"), but inevitably people really like it. It's easy to remember, even for people not used to card games or standard conventions. There is usually a lot of smiling and laughing whenever I explain it before playing.
:'''--Paul'''


:I'm just very much used to the Spades-Hearts-Diamonds-Clubs suit order that is used in virtually every major card game (Bridge, Hearts, Spades, War, etc. etc.). But in the end the exact order doesn't matter so long as there is one and it's consistent. :-)

''Feel free to delete all this if you'd like to keep this page "clean".''

:Technically, there's a separate ''discussion'' page for each regular page that you can edit separately. But I don't really care.
