Ah ha. So I see that this works for drawing from the bottom of the discard stack. But if the intent is to be able to draw from the top of the normal stack, and then have it continue in order through the discarded cards, you would then have to draw from the bottom of the discard stack rather than from the top. I may be mistaken, but I thought the original idea was to have a "recycling" stack of cards, that keep getting replenished from the bottom, retaining the order of the discards. > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Thomas Russ > Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 1:55 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [vassalengine] How to make discards go to the bottom > of the > deck > > > > > On Oct 16, 2007, at 10:40 AM, David Neumann wrote: > >> Yes, the top card of the discard pile is the 'bottom' card of the >> full >> deck. >> >> Does that make sense? >> >> It does work -- when you place a card face down on the top of the >> discard pile, the cards in the discard pile are in the same order >> as if >> you'd placed them under the deck. > > Are you sure?
