Card-based random number generator

A method of generating random numbers via a balanced deck, the method comprising:

• with a deck comprising:
• a first set of cards comprising value cards, the first set including multiple subsets of value cards, each subset of value cards defined by a specific value of a plurality of values;
• and
• a second set of cards comprising draw cards, the second set including multiple subsets of draw cards, each subset of draw cards defined by respective instruction to draw a specific number of additional cards that is different from the respective instruction of each other subset of draw cards;
• wherein the first set of cards and the second set of cards are shuffled together;
• drawing one or more initial cards from the deck;
• in response to drawing a draw card, drawing one or more additional cards from the deck based on an instruction on the draw card;
• and
• determining a score by adding one or more values associated with the one or more value cards from among the one or more initial cards and one or more additional cards.

A method of assembling a balanced deck, comprising:

• assembling a first set of cards comprising value cards, the first set including multiple subsets of value cards, each subset of value cards defined by a specific value of a plurality of values;
• assembling a second set of cards comprising draw cards, the second set including multiple subsets of draw cards, each subset of draw cards defined by respective instruction to draw a specific number of additional cards that is different from the respective instruction of each other subset of draw cards;
• and
• assembling the first set of cards and the second set of cards together.
