Order of dealing cards

Post by Jegpeg »

I normally expect in card games that cards are dealt out one at a time to players in rotation. This is certainly done in poker tournaments for example.

In Boomerang (or at least Boomerant Europe), one player gets the first 7 cards another player gets the next 7 and so on, which strikes me as odd though not technically against the rules.

It doesn't make a difference in 2 or 4 player games but in the second round of a 3 player game one player will (initially) get all the cards that were not used in the first round.

Are you suggesting that they ARE actually dealt out that way digitally - 7 cards to one player, then 7 more to the next ... ?

Are you also suggesting that the full deck IS NOT shuffled fully between each and every round in a 3 player game?

Both of these scenarios sound very weird to me.
