That guy's pretty handy with lego. What's he going to build next? A lego atom bomb?

Slightly off topic but mentioned in the thread; sleeves. I'm really tempted to sleeve mine, but a quick search didn't yield any matching sleeves for this size. Does anyone have their cards sleeved?

Have you ever stepped on a Lego in the dark barefooted? Imagine that city wide. Ugh. The zombie apocalypse is suddenly looking up.

Actually, for the record, my best friend got me an automatic card shuffler for Christmas. I always joke with him (and my gaming group, for that matter) about how terrible I am at shuffling cards.

I can't shuffle regular cards very well, so I am not good at shuffling the cards in Last Night On Earth AT ALL.

I finally gave up trying and just have a very dirty/goofy method of shuffling when I have to do it. I literally just scatter the deck across the table, making a complete mess of it, then gather them back up at random.

So, my friend saw an automatic shuffler and got it for me. The one I have is made to handle up to 4 decks of cards at once. Mind you, that is normal playing cards, but that is still a lot of cards.

It doesn't look like the most sophisticated piece of machinery. So far, I have not had any horror stories to share. The worst thing I can say so far is that sometimes the cards fall off the side as it is trying to shuffle them. No biggie there, you just lightly hold them in place.

So, from my experience so far, it is pretty safe. But, I will be sure to come back here to warn everybody if it ever ends up eating up any of my cards, or anything terrible like that.

I use a method for shuffling very similar to this, the only thing different is that i try to randomize a little the order of the piles

This last video is what I used to do with my magic decks... Sleeves used to make it easy to "slide together" shuffle... Downfall was, as random as I tried to be with my initial piles I always found that I ended up following a pattern and creating clumps... Specially huge mana clumps... I'd like to see a shuffler that can handle game cards with sleeves... I'm real picky bout my gaming gear, I reboxed my game and sorted everything into hero/zombie boxes to aid in set up, sleeved my cards, and got a huge piece of felt to keep everything from getting scratched on the table...
