Players reveal orders simultaneously ?

Hey people,  hope you don't mind a newbie question - I've done a fair bit of digging through the doco and can't find an obvious answer. I'm looking for a technique which would let players select a hidden order and simultaneously reveal... In a table-top game I'd give all players a set of cards (numbered 1~7) and have them all select one, place if face down in front of them on once all are in - everyone reveals their card... I've read through the Card doco but can't work out how this would be configured. Any thoughts on how this might be simulated? Thanks - Jerry the Newbie.

Hi Jerry, a deck of cards with proper settings will do the trick:
Ahh - thanks very much Sr. K - appreciate you taking the time to help out! I'm still not 100% sure I understand - the idea is that each player needs to have their own deck of 7 cards - numbered 1 through 7 - they then each pick one card and play it face-down, then all reveal... does this work with the mechanism you've suggested? (The way I read it they would all be drawing from a common deck - or am I missing something fundamental?) thanks again though! Jerry
I'm looking for a technique which would let players select a hidden order and simultaneously reveal... If this is your main concern, I'd suggest you have your players whisper their orders via chat using "/w gm [order goes here]", which sends a message only the GM can see. This way they won't be cheating and changing their minds after reading someone else's plan. But if you want to stick with your plan, you can tick the option that makes the deck infinite, so there can be 300 cards with 7. It may help ticking the option that allows the players to choose which card they draw, so the players can draw the cards themselves, rather than you having to hand each one of them individually.

I agree with Filipe about the infinite deck. You should be able to deal each player 7 cards in turn, then they can choose a card to play face down to the table, then you can select all the cards and flip them in one move.
