How do you shuffle big decks? (feddit.de)

Some games come with gigantic stacks of cards that I find hard to mix with card-friendly methods. Games like Ark Nova, Clank, Hogwarts Battle have unmanageable decks but I hate bending the cards.

Whats the best way?

I had a major shuffling speed boost with the No bend riffle shuffle , but a little modified, I hold the cards of one hand rotated 90 degrees.

This is after the full deck is broken down into manageable size chunks.

I highly recommend everyone try this style of riffle. It took one day to have a decent speedy riffle.

Probably still explain or ask permission before doing it with other peoples cards too.

Much appreciated! This is what I was hoping for. I will have to practice a bit :)

As someone with little hands, thank you! This technique makes shuffling large cards so much easier!
