Hi Sarah, While I certainly see the point you are making there is one I'd like to make which I think is being overlooked. That is a person clearly has a choice to or not to reshuffle the cards. If you or anyone personally feels it is cheating to reshuffle the cards it is your option not to do it. If someone else doesn't think it is cheating they can reshuffle the cards as many times as necessary to have an accessible and enjoyable game. In short, its all about choices, and I think it is wrong to em pose your choices on someone else in a situation like this. Does it really matter to you if someone else can or can't cheat at a game when you aren't in direct competition with them?
