and shutters when it comes to it when it comes to playing card games yeah yeah the question is if you're playing card games on Shabbos assuming it's a proper Shabbos activity generally uh are there problems of borer of separating things on Shabbos uh yeah as a matter of fact there there certainly may be depending on the particular game may be depending on the particular game remember the general rules for bow rare bow rare is when you have a mixture of different items and you separate them out so that is one of the malachas of Shabbos and there are certain conditions that must be met in order for there not to be Beau rare let's take food as the simpler case to illustrate you have to take the good from the bad and you have to do it right before you need to use it and you cannot use a need to use it and you cannot use a utensil that is for separation so an example would be that if you have a mixture of nuts and you like walnuts and you don't like pecans so you wouldn't be allowed to take the pecans out of the walnuts you have to take the walnuts out of the pecans and even that is only what you're right before you eat them right before you can't do it like an hour before and you can't use a I don't know if there's anything but you can't use a special pecan separator
