Is it possible to cheat?

Post by john0607 »

Is it possible to cheat in this game as in knowing what cards are hidden? Probably not but I've seen some suspicious behavior in this game with people seeming to know where cards are that they shouldn't. They will say it's luck but they won't hesitate in revealing the matching cards as though they knew what to expect. On top of that, if you call them out on it, they will suddenly start making stupid moves. Probably my imagination but suss none the less.

It is possible. There are virtually no foolproof systems, even with systems dealing with trillions of dollares...

I could imagine logging in with different accounts and participating at the same game. So in a game of 4 a single perons handles the cards of 3. So watch for same combinations of low ranked usernames on the game.

Had the same problem today,having the three 4s in hand then someone picked them all three without hesitating.
It was early in the game, only one card before my 4 was revealed and obtained the turn before so no one could have known i had one...

It's obviously very easy to cheat in a memory game on BGA.
In the real world, you have to memorize the location of the cards, but on BGA, no one can check whether you're writing down the location of the cards. This is completely forbidden by the rules.

That's why memory games are less popular on BGA.

I've been on the other end of this and done this by accident. He may have been digging into your hand to gather information and got lucky that you had all 3. Some folks tend to dig through hands and some folks reveal what's facedown on the board.

It's unlikely that players can cheat in a memory card game by knowing the locations of hidden cards, especially if the game is being played fairly tiny fishing In a memory card game, the cards are typically shuffled and placed face down, making it impossible for players to know their positions beforehand.
