I recognize that there are no current rules for 'Draw' variations, so I want to clarify what the rules are currently, and open the floor to any suggestions.

Currently, any variation of 'Draw' is legal for all games that have it as an option. I don't think it changes the nature of the game, and only increases playability. I may add it as a variable to distinguish games played under different settings, but I have no intention to make it a different subcategory. If there's interest in that, let me know.

However, pressing 'Redeal' after changing this is still required. The logic is that while the menu is open, the game is paused and technically the board can be studied. By adding in the 'Redeal' requirement, you should never have a situation where the game is paused on a shuffle that will be played. So really, the rule should be a 'Redeal' is required whenever the menu is open, however I know that will lead to frustrating situations. I want to pre-empt that. Accidently opening the menu currently does not require this, but I don't want to allow an exploitable loophole either. I know menu-ing is extremely frustrating to do, especially when New Game is also required every time.

Lastly, I became a moderator only because the last guy went inactive. I'm happy to stay in this role as an active impartial verifier, but I don't claim to have any special knowledge of this game. If the community ever wants another moderator (replacement or additional), I'm happy to accommodate. As always, the rules and moderation should be community driven, so I will try to be as transparent as possible about my process.

My two cents -

Draw option doesn't need to be a variation in my opinion. It should certainly be allowed to be changed in the manner you described, because it does not confer a speed advantage. If you are on the second draw through the pile you can certainly get a better chance of finishing the run but I can't think of a scenario where that would actually save time.
