Using cards / Decks

Alright so maybe the system isn't made for doing this but I thought I'd ask. For some card game systems, you want to be able to play a card face down. I see that you can place a card on a board and then right click and flip it face down, but is there a way to place it on the board face down already? Also is there a way to have each player create their own deck, from cards from another deck? Ala games like dominion? Finally. are images required for cards? When I create a card and just list a name withotu a image, I notice when I put draw it into hand it just displays a broken image file and not the card name. And when trying to place it on the board, nothing appears. Just trying to figure out what I can use or do with the card system.  Thanks
You could create little boxes for each player using dynamic lighting if you had a pro subscription... and then players could drop their cards in that area, flip them over face down, and then move them out to the playing field.

Very cool idea! Dynamic Lighting is available in games in which the Creator has an active Plus subscription.

Also: Holding the Shift key while you drag the card onto the tabletop will play it to the tabletop face down instead of face up (which is the default). see: &nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Ta" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Ta</a>...

When setting up the deck just select Face Down under When Played to the Table Top Also is there a way to have each player create their own deck, from cards from another deck? Ala games like dominion? Depends on what you mean by "deck" they can all draw cards, but there's no way for them to then shuffle that deck and draw cards from the randomized cards. &nbsp;However, if they should be able to see all the cards, then just allow them to draw cards (or select certain cards)... Finally. are images required for cards? When I create a card and just list a name withotu a image, I notice when I put draw it into hand it just displays a broken image file and not the card name. And when trying to place it on the board, nothing appears. Yes, images are required, however there are some suggestions in the Suggestion Forum to allow text only cards...you can go cast a vote for that suggestion. :)
