I have, on multiple occasions, encountered duplicate cards. And it's not just randomness, it happens in cases where it should be absolutelyimpossible to run into two instances of the same card.
Primary example: I have, on multiple occasions, encountered two Nightbelly Boas in the same location of the "Here Comes the Flood" scenario - something which should never happen, because there should only ever be exactly one of them per location according to the rules of the scenario. And yes, I definitely defeated them, so the second Boa wasn't just the first having been shuffled back in after a failed combat check (they wouldn't get shuffled in anyway, they end up face-up on top of the location if undefeated, so this would really be hard to be mistaken).
Something in the deck shuffling algorithm seems to be duplicating cards (in location decks, at least; character decks seem to be unaffected).
Unfortunately, because this is so random, there are no definite steps to reliably reproduce this phenomenon. All I can say is, try playing the "Here Comes the Flood" scenario (over and over), because that is the one where it is definitely noticeable when you encounter two Boas in the same location.
I believe it is not something specific to this single scenario, because I think I noticed a suspiciously high frequency of "card twins" in the location decks of other scenarios as well (more than pure randomness would suggest possible), but in those cases it's not as easily proven that they aren't just weird coincidences after all.
It just happened to me again, in two locations of the same run of "Here Comes the Flood".
