How to use the card drawer

Step-by-step instructions for Virtual Card Drawer.

Fair Card Drawer is a random card picker for remote games, probability demos, and quick practice draws. Start from a freshly shuffled 52-card deck, draw one or several cards, and use concealed mode when a host wants to reveal faces later. Drawn cards move to the discard pile until you reshuffle; nothing is returned automatically. Everything runs in this browser with inline SVG faces. It is a casual virtual deck—not jokers, betting rules, or a regulated dealing service.

How it works

1. Start with a freshly shuffled deck or reshuffle after a round.
2. Choose a draw count, then draw; cards leave the deck and appear in discard/history.
3. Toggle concealed mode to hide faces until you reveal them.
4. Review history and reshuffle when you need a full 52-card deck again.

Examples

• Remote game: Draw cards on a video call while showing only card backs in concealed mode.
• Decision draw: Draw one card to choose among suited options you assigned beforehand.
• Probability lesson: Watch the discard pile grow and discuss how the remaining deck changes.

Limitations

• Only one standard 52-card deck is supported (no jokers in v1).
• Shuffles use browser cryptography for casual fairness—not an independently audited casino deal.
