    It doesn't even have to be a good final name, just a catchy WIP.
    It involves playing cards and destiny.

    'Something' Shuffle would be neato. Destiny Shuffle is a bit too... Strippery.

    Hmmm... I kind of like Unshuffled because it feels very much like it's referring to the core rule set, free of circumstance.
    At some point I had a doc that was just a list of playing card terms I thought were fun but I'm having trouble finding it now >:(

    ooo I like that, yea I feel like it's somehow got to be card term based.

    I feel like a game called "Unshuffled" would need to center around a deck of cards being... never shuffled. It doesn't call to mind the theme of the game.

    If your card game is themed around something (in this case, Destiny), the name should reflect that. As an example, Hand of Fate is an ARPG that uses a "hand" of cards to play the primary game loop.

    "Mulligan" is the name of a popular card mechanic that involves a second chance, or 'making your own luck', so to speak.

    I thought mulligan was just a golf thing, it actually works really well in this context though if that's not the case. This is a good thread I will continue to follow...
