Hi all,

For my 24 card game I was wondering if I could make the view different for each player. What i mean by this is, could i make the main board in such a way that it seems like the players are sitting across from each other, so your opponent’s cards are upsidedown? I also want your cards to always be on the bottom part of map, no matter which side you pick. What is the best way to go about this?

Another quick question, is there anyway I can make the Draw specific card feature more organized. Maybe allowing the player to chose some method of sorting them?

It’s possible that we’ll add such a feature in 3.2, but at present, we  
don’t know how difficult doing so will be.
