Log can be used for cheating

Post by Mechamiku »

There is a survival card which allows survivors to hide the discard pile, but creature can use the history of the game to see which cards are the hidden.
The real problem comes when you resist to recover 2 cards. Even with the discard pile hidden, log tells everyone (creature included) which cards has the player recovered, making the survival card useless.

I agree, which is why the Smokescreen card is useless online (it works great in person). Once that card is played, the game log should be completely hidden from The Creature until the round is over.

If the log gets hidden, the most recent actions should still be available for the creature to see, otherwise they would literally have no opportunity to ever see it with asynchronous play.

The best way to use smokescreen as a player right now, specifically online, is to use it before resisting, which just helps hide which cards are recovered
