The top card of the discard deck is the 'bottom' of the deck. Allow both decks to be searched, and players can search each deck without having to move any cards around. I've done this before (on Tim's advice) in a module and it works great. Dave

I like your suggestion, but ideally, all the cards of each of the 12 decks are always in them if they're not in someone's hand or play area. So, for example, I draw Apple off the A deck, and interact with it as appropriate. Then I discard the Apple to the bottom of the A deck, and the next player plays a card that allows her to search the A deck for anything she wants - she's after that juicy Apple I just discarded. I could do it as I described, or as you describe, which certainly sounds a little more elegant; however, that still leaves the players having to move cards all over the place when all they want to do is discard to the bottom of the correct deck, which is the usual behavior in this game. In fact, in this one, you always discard to the bottom of the respective deck. --- In [email protected] <mailto:vassalengine%40yahoogroups.com> , "Tim McCaron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Just add a discard pile for each deck.
