BUT the game log is a silly place to implement this, as it involves fiddly scrolling, especially for long held reserved cards.
Why not show them in the player areas on right of screen - this is already done for a players own reserved cards. (Maybe enlarge on mouseover)
Agreed!!

Reserved cards should not be visible to opponents

Post by JustTim »

"Visible cards reserved by opponents are now available in the log"

The game rules state that reserved cards should be kept in your hand. This means that they should *not* be visible to opponents once you have reserved them, they're secret. Yes they were previously visible to opponents before you reserved them, but It's difficult to remember everything about all of the cards your opponents have reserved, and that can be an important part of the strategy of this game - keeping what you have in hand secret from your opponents so that they can't block you (e.g. by taking tokens you need to purchase your reserved cards).

It's really unfortunate that you have introduced this change, as it fundamentally breaks an important strategic part of the game by allowing opponents to essentially see your hand at any time by looking in the log. This should not be possible, or at the very least should be configurable and off by default.
