In thread below (who goes first), just out of interest I was going to contribute a random selection method I am using -
…… the gillie shuffles the nine Clause cards and places the stack (number side up) opposite the Business card. Counting clockwise, starting with the gillie who is “one”, the player given the number that matches the top Clause card will start the game.
That got me thinking. Obviously, in my game it is not intended that the gillie shuffles himself an advantage. When we play games shuffled cards are always offered for cutting. Do you think this is implied when a rule states ‘shuffle the cards’?
Thats the point of course. I've always had trouble wording the 'cutting' part of a shuffle - so I leave it out. 'Shuffle and cut' could mean that you are expected to end up with two half packs. 'Shuffle,cut, and complete the cut' is probably accurate - but I've never seen anything like it, have you?
