At the end of each round, it would be very convenient if the 2 cards discarded by your opponent are revealed. Sometimes, I have to really watched the replay to see what are the cards (but only after the game ended so that I can choose to view from the other side).

If you want to check private information, do it in replay.

I mean to reveal the discarded cards at the end of the round

Fully agreed, at that point it's no longer private info. Would be nice to reveal the one unused card too, though that can be inferred

Im agree, i played this game in other sites and at the end of each round u can choose the option to see the discarted cards also there is a count of rounds. My record is 7 rounds in a game.

I disagree. This information should remain hidden at all times. Knowing which card were removed by the opponent gives a huge insight into their strategy and play style. The rules at no point say those cards should be revealed either.

While I agree with the sentiment, if it can be accessed (which it can be via replay from the opponents perspective), then why make it more difficult to get there.

Because you can't do so during the game. The replay is available after finishing the game.

Agree it’s hidden information during game play. As is the 21st card returned to the box.

I suppose two players might agree to look at that 21st card between rounds when reshuffling and to also look at the four cards discarded during game play. But I don’t think it tells a whole lot or informs the next round. And, if it DID inform the next round then it’s better kept hidden.

That said, between rounds it’s possible for me to deduce my opponent’s two discards and the 21st card, from the 16 cards that were played plus my own two discards. That’s sufficient for my purposes.
