OK... You have 2 face-down stacks AZ BY CX Compare this to A B C X Y Z Drawing from the bottom of this stack gives you Z Y X same as the discard stack in the 2 face-down stack example.

Are you sure? I must be missing something. Let's have the following deck structure: A B C and then discard the cards X, Y and Z in that order. In an ideal world, we would then end up with a deck structured like: A B C X Y Z but if you use a separate discard pile and put them in on top, you instead get: A Z B Y C X and card Z, the last one discarded, is on top of the discard pile instead of card X. Or does this somehow rely on face-up or face down? > > I actually use this mechanic for my Arkham module and it works good. > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] <mailto:vassalengine%40yahoogroups.com> > [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:vassalengine%40yahoogroups.com> ] > On Behalf Of Thomas Russ > Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 12:38 PM > To: [email protected] <mailto:vassalengine%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: Re: [vassalengine] How to make discards go to the bottom > of the > deck > > > > > On Oct 16, 2007, at 9:59 AM, Tim McCaron wrote: > >> Just add a discard pile for each deck.
