On my game a  player has a "spell" group, visible to "me". On game the player can move a card from spell group to table but faced down so every body knows a spell is used but nobody (expect the player) knows which spell.

So I want to play a "secret" card from spell group to table. This should be possible with a card action contains move and turn command. The name of this card is hidden to other players, right?
Is it possible to do this with the card drag&drop function too? Or is there a way to disable drag&drop of cards on a group (so only menu actions are working)?

Best regards,
Purzel

you can turn a face-up card on the table face-down using cardactions (the TURN tag), and you can also do it with drag&drop by holding SHIFT while you drag it.  When you play a card face-down with the drag&drop method, it will report the card as 'card' instead of its name (to prevent the chat log from revealing its name)

The current issue with face-down cards right now is that nobody can see what the card is until it is face-up, including the player who controls it.  Which is OK for games like Pokemon TCG with its prizes but not so great with games like Magic with morph creatures.

I really should add a way to make "shift = face down" more discoverable. That's the problem with keyboard modifiers...
