Face down cards

I noticed that any player can turn a card face up by moving it to a face up deck. Is there an option to prevent this?

I don’t think so. A face up deck is just that. There are probably alternative methods that can be used but I would need to know what you’re trying to accomplish.

Player A turns a card face down and places it in an area on the game board.
Player B who received the logfile for that game, cannot see by any means which card was placed by Player A.

If player B can just send that card to a face up deck to reveal it, then there is no point in having a Mask property that allows only player A to reveal his card. Is there an option to prevent it?

Don’t put a face up deck in the module

Is there an option to prevent movement of a card by any non-owner?

Yes. Give your card the Restricted Access trait, in the properties of which you can assign which side can manipulate the card. 8)
