Rulings
- 2026-06-29: You don't have to reveal the cards in the face-down pile if you put it into your hand.
- 2026-06-29: You may split the cards into one pile of four and one pile of zero. The pile of four cards could be the face-up pile or the face-down pile. Which pile to choose won't be much of riddle for your opponent if you do that!
