Official source for reshuffling

It's been clarified many times that when a deck runs out of cards and you need to play or discard from that deck, you reshuffle the trash into the deck; but you don't do this when you need to, for instance, reveal cards from the deck. But there doesn't seem to be as prominent an official source for this as I'd expect. It's in Spiff's FAQ, but it's not in the "official rulings" forum, and the version of the rulebook that you can download at sentinelsofthemultiverse doesn't have any rule about reshuffling that I can see. Can we get an official ruling to this effect to point people to?

Thanks!

Keep in mind that the forum was reorganized (doesn’t seem like the right word) a few years ago, many posts were lost. One of the reasons why not everything in the FAQ has a link. However, the ruling is correct.

Will this do?

Also, that’s how the app works.

How about a post from Paul instead?

Although it's not quite accurate anymore.

You won't lose the game for a fiddly reason unless you're playing against Wager Master

There.  Now I've fixed it.

Thanks for the links! Unfortunately, neither of those is precise enough, since they don't talk about the difference between "drawing", "playing", "discarding", and "revealing".

(I know there are official posts on this, I'd just like them to be more prominent.)

Just for clarification, you don't reshuffle as soon as a deck runs out, but when you're attempting to draw/play from it. Correct?

Correct.

10

Yep.

Thanks!

Discarding from the top of a deck whem it is empty also prompts a reshuffle.
