Question: Does the dealing mechanism have the concept of orientation -- normal or reversed -- as is used in Tarot decks? Pondering an Everway campaign... if cards have no orientation, I suppose I just do a double-size deck. | Question: Does the dealing mechanism have the concept of orientation -- normal or reversed -- as is used in Tarot decks?

Question: Is there a way to allow all players to discard cards? Right now only the GM can remove stuff from the table. - Nick Lamicela Nick L. (talk) 14:00, 29 May 2013 (EDT)
