Arkham Horror
Why does setup use only 13 random headline cards?
The rulebook's setup and mythos phase rules state both the 13-card deal and the empty-deck doom.

Setup shuffles the headline cards and deals 13 of them into a facedown headline deck; the rest go back to the box. If you are told to draw a headline while that deck is empty, place one doom on the scenario sheet instead.
