24<h2>Dealing lists</h2>
25
26<p>Shuffling cards is tedious, and if you don&rsquo;t do it enough, you
27get less interesting hands than you ought to. Instead, get
28a randomly generated <a href="/ucgi/~mdw/deal">list</a> of piles to deal
29the cards in. Each list is a randomly generated partition of the 52
30cards into four hands of 13 cards each.
31
32<p>You should still shuffle the cards a bit before dealing in order to
33prevent any really clever players from being able to work out the hands
34based on the old order of the cards and the dealing list.
35
36<p>If you&rsquo;re going to be away from the net, you may find it useful
37to print a <a href="/ucgi/~mdw/deal/sheet">sheet</a> of many deals.

40<h2>Hand generator</h2>
41
42<p>If you have a spare moment, then why not spend it staring at a
43randomly generated <a href="/ucgi/~mdw/deal/hand">bridge hand</a>? The
44link on each page can be used to share interesting hands with others.
