Autoshuffle option.
Would be nice to have for dice bags and decks because its most annoything thing to manually shake the bag each turn >.>

Pick it up and press "R." You only have to shuffle one time for it to be considered shuffled. :) It's not like real life!

Yeah, that's still doing it hundreds of times for no reason.

I think he is asking for a Option to shuffle multiple/all items at once, without picking up each one of them.

I thought he was asking, whenever you add or take something from a deck or bag that you have auto-shuffle turned on, it automatically shuffles the deck.

Perhaps Soto should clarify. If it is what Gandorques says, I think that's kind of silly to not take all of 1 minute of your time to manually shuffle all the stuff you need to shuffle. If it is what em says...what exactly is the point of reshuffling a bag or deck after you've taken an object? It's still shuffled, after all.

Well, it's probably more common after you add something to a deck, rather than after you take something out. I play a game that every turn, every player gets a card from a small deck, After they do whatever the card says, they put it back in the deck and shuffle the deck. The decks tend to be small, and when I play with friends in person, I don't shuffle the small decks, it's just not worth it. It's easy enough to press R after I put the card on the deck in TTS, though, so in this one instance I follow the rules a bit better. My mouse is already hovering over the deck, after all, so it's not a huge imposition. It's just the fact that this is a gameplay mechanic for specific games that led me to read the original post the way I did.

I see...that sounds like a really tedious game in real life, to the point where I'd never play it. However, in TTS, I think it's so easy to shuffle that I thought it was weird someone would think it was still too much of a hassle, haha. If they're going to add a new deck option, I'd much more prefer "Deal to self." THAT would get used far more frequently.

It's good to shuffle your hand repeatedly so they can't track cards

Wait, so you're complaining about this because shuffling is made easier (you just press a button), and yet you want it made even easier? How about they just automate games for you?

I think I get where he's coming from. For instance, in Zombie Dice, it would be cool if the color you put back in the bag last wouldn't be the first one you pull out (without a shuffle). If dice bags automatically shuffled their contents upon adding pieces (no reason why they shouldn't anywho), I think that would be a useful feature.

Though, you can just tapshuffle both the deck and the dicebag as well. Just use an empty area of the table, pick up the deck or lootbag you want to shuffle, and rapidly right click once you pick up the entire deck or lootbag. If done properly, you should see the cards shuffle or hear the coins jingle in response. Though, auto shuffling when placing cards on a deck would ruin rules that state that the card must be on top of the deck or the discard pile is shuffled and then return to either side of the deck.

Agree

Right. It would be cool if it was a resource for specific decks and bags while making games, not as a universal rule. If I were making a game, an "auto-shuffle?" check box in the bag/deck properties menu would go a long way for me as a creator, and I imagine the same for others as well.
