Trying to Program Clue (Cluedo) for roll20 and stuck on cards

So I've managed to put the board together, make cute little player icons and create all the decks (weapons, characters and rooms) but now I can't figure out how to remove one card from each deck and save it for the big reveal at the end of the game - tried making a discard pile to put them in right when the game starts, but no luck. Any suggestions?

You could have a second, dummy account that you can sign into the table and deal 1 card of each deck to. It would require trust that you weren't going to peek but it would be a nice way to do it without having to get involved with subscriptions and API, there may be other ways but I don't deal with decks often.

This might require testing, but IIRC, a logged out player retains their cards. They should be unavailable to the logged in player. Deal the three cards to your dummy account and then log it in until you are ready to solve the murder of Mister Boddy! (Or Dr. Black, outside the U.S.)
Hey all, thanks for the replies! I'll definitely try it - two more quick questions: 1. would there be any way for players to show only ONE other player their card? Eg. If player A guesses it was Plum, player B has Plum, can B show A? If not, I figured players can just use whisper and keep it on the honor system. 2. Would there be any way to save the board set up pre-game so I could always just restart a new game, or would I have to reset the boards and cards at the end of the game?
This video might be helpful... I think that you could show the card with this method.&nbsp; May have to change the macro to a whisper and maybe querry for which player: <a href="https://youtu.be/sjbgkCDCW88?t=363" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/sjbgkCDCW88?t=363</a>

You can drag one of your cards to another player's avatar to offer it as a trade.&nbsp; Both players see the card, but other players shouldn't.
Alright, thanks so much everyone!
Once you have game setup you can make a copy of it to play in.&nbsp; Therefore keeping original in pregame settings.

You can configure each deck to be played Face Up or Face Down; you could set each deck to be played Face Down at the beginning when you create the Big Reveal "deck." &nbsp;Then you'd just drag the cards from each deck to the table top and you have your pile. &nbsp;When people take them, they can see them, but if you've changed the deck to play face up, you'll want to change it back to played face down if someone takes them to look at them and you need to put them back on the table face down. And, as jbokcrusader said, copy/duplicate your game, but do that BEFORE your first game. Then you could label one set up. Then when you want to play a new game, copy the set up game and everyone plays in the non-set up game.
Hey eveyone, thanks for all the responses, they were really helpful!!
