Deal the remaining Player cards into as many roughly equal face-down piles as you have Epidemic cards, shuffle one Epidemic into each pile, then stack the piles with the smaller ones on the bottom. Do not shuffle all the Epidemics into one big deck, because that makes early Epidemics more likely and bunches them up.
