I am astonished that BoardGameArena has arranged that trick taking card games like Spades and Solo show the cards that have gone.
This is wholly inconsistent with the most fundamental of card playing rules - I fear that whilst the excellent site organisers understand all manner of games, they do not understand the ethics of trick taking card games.
It means that a fast skim-reader can look and see what's been played before they make their own play - and that's (in essence) cheating - but it is not against BGA rules.
But BGA seem impervious to such logic, and maintain that it's the way they do it .....
