Does anyone know how to see the reserve cards? (not the hidden ones of course). This is critical for the game.
Thank you
This is frustrating. Even on the web, having to go through the move history to find each card one by one is clunky and annoying.

Since you _can_ always know what cards others have reserved if you just wrote them down yourself, I don't see any reason for BGA to make it hard. Why not just let you click on the tiny reserved cards icon on another player, and show you all of them?

Can anyone think of a reason why the game shouldn't have a feature like that?
Nobody responded with any reason why we shouldn't have this feature, so I submitted a feature request for you to vote for:

This could also solve the mobile problem, since it wouldn't require a hover tooltip.

In Splendour you are allowed to reserve the top card from any row. You wont know what card you’re getting until you reserve it, but neither does anyone else. It’s completely hidden information for you alone to build a strategy around. Thatbis the reason they can’t include a feature to view the reserved cards.😊

True - Though, the suggestion by Cos- could be implemented while blocking any secret reserved cards from being shown.

Yes, of course. We're all asking for an easy way to see reserved visible cards; when a reserved card came from the top of the deck it would just say that.

It's frustrating. We have the game at home so it's part of the game to see what your opponent is reserving. That being said, I'm ok with it now because I treat it as an advantage on BGA because as much as you can't see theirs, they can't see yours. I look at it now as a different strategy to employ.
