In order to deal from a deck of cards, hold it in your left hand and use the "deal" command. Each player you deal to will need an empty right hand, to receive the cards. Shuffling the deck places all the cards back into the deck, but doesn't take cards away from players. That would be impossible, since players can wander away, or even quit, with cards from your deck during the game. However, when you start a new game and deal to a player still holding cards, you will be unable to since you don't use "deal -a" on the first hand... you can ask them to discard their hand or leave the game at that time. IMPORTANT: If you join a card game, make sure you have "message equipment 3"... or else the dealer can remove the deck and hold a new one without you knowing. The suits, from highest to lowest, are: Candles Bells Wands Swords There are four face cards in each suit, from highest (13) to lowest (10): Knight Magus Priest Rogue The one-card (Ace) is called the Star.
