Report history
If there are any concerns from people or objections, could this be a game configuration setting on the table setup page? So if people were really passionately against this (which is hard for me to imagine) they could switch it off for games.
On the BGA site, the current situation will quickly result in the inequality of the players according to the material they use, between those who will have the opportunity to make screen shots and others.
So removing the preview would be against the rules. You cannot plan your strategy or select your mage if you don't know what is in your hand.
I don't agree with letting you view your hand thereafter. It is not in the spirit of the game. Those who want to break the rules can do so by whatever means they like.
And it would depreciate the cards which allow to consult deck
The game specifically allows you to preview your deck at the beginning of the game. This is just about making that same information accessible during the game so that you don't need to memorize (or screenshot) it. Remembering what cards are in your deck isn't a big deal in a 20 min face-to-face game, but remembering what cards are in your deck when you're playing several games asynchronously over several days is very difficult.
It also does not depreciate cards that allow looking at your deck. The value of those cards is in determining what will come up *next*. You should already know what cards are in your deck because of the preview at the start. This suggestion does not change that.
