I was thinking about the same thing as I read the game description.
The best option I could think of:
- Create 4 piles of 12 cards for each suit
- Turn the piles face down and shuffle the piles so that the piles stay together but you no longer know which pile is which suit
- Remove 2 cards from 2 piles and 4 cards from one pile
- You now have suit piles of 12, 10, 10, and 8 cards
- Shuffle them all together and deal
- You’ll know what the target suit was by looking at the cards at the end of the round
Slow, but I think it would work.
- godelski 3y ago> - Turn the piles face down and shuffle the piles so that the piles stay together but you no longer know which pile is which suit This is the specific part I'm actually concerned with. It is difficult to shuffle piles without accidentally exposing information. Cards can slide and there's so few "bins" that your brain can easily track, even by accident. The rest is easy and standard.
- greenrider83 3y agoOne simple solution: just put 12 cards from each suit into 4 piles and then hand the piles to somebody else who didn't see which pile is which suit for them to do the card removal and then the final shuffle that merges the piles. So basically a two-person deal where each dealer does a different step lets both people play without knowledge of which suit is the target suit.
