Main playing board with player specific zones

Im looking for a way to create a “board” that represents a table for a card game.

Each player will have their assigned zone on the playing field. other players cannot access your zone, but can see what cards you have down.

In the zone will be an area where you lay your cards face down, move your cards and flip your cards. This zone will also contain a “player hand” where the cards you have in your hand would be kept.

Is this too complicated? If not someone please direct me how to do this.

I currently have a playing board with a deck of cards…the players draw the cards into a seperate window player hand. I want to eliminate seperate windows and have only the playing field with cards.

thanks!!

On a single map, basically not possible. It could be done using the restrict
access trait based on zones/locations but that is a lot of work

So what would be a suggestion? Use the players hands, and then have a seperate board for each player to place their cards down?

yes
