Is the legend deck shuffled for every turn?

[Roumba]

A while back, a player made a comment in a game as if they knew what options had been eliminated for the legends' moves. I kind of assumed that was a joke or all in their head, but if the game is trying to replicate the tabletop -exactly- then they may have been sincere.

The physical game has 10 legend cards that are played out until that deck is empty and then shuffled to play again. On BGA, since that deck doesn't say how many cards are left in it, can I assume that it is shuffled after every turn? On BGA, is trying to more accurately predict legends' behavior by keeping track of their played cards is not really a thing that can be done?

Does anyone know how it works under the hood? I went back through a replay to see if there was any kind of shuffle pop-up on the legend's 10th & 11th turns, but I didn't see anything.

BGA is working just as the real game. A deck of 10 cards that are shuffled only when it runs out of cards

Wow, you are right. Thanks!

During my last game, I paid very close attention to the legend's playerboard and it really does go through 10 different cards followed by a "reshuffle" animation that is simply a legend card moving from right to left instead of left to right. There are no other notifications of the reshuffle happening that I noticed.

For anyone else who might be wondering what the legend deck contains, every legend has these same 10 move options:

Code: Select all

Listed as: (before-turn chevron number,straight-line speed)
(0,10)
(0,11)
(1,12)
(1,13)
(1,14)
(2,15)
(2,16)
(2,17)
(3,18)
(3,19)

With Pro Legends, the straight-line move speeds displayed on the card are automatically changed (ex. with a +3 setting, the highest number you will see will be 22)

So, a full legend deck grouped by pre-corner end-move chevron numbers looks like this:
2x - <0> (10,11)
3x - <1> (12,13,14)
3x - <2> (15,16,17)
2x - <3> (18,19)

Neat. I have a hard enough time keeping track of my own deck, but on those maps where the legends don't get left in the dust, maybe I'll try also keeping track of this stuff.
