Yes. That would work....EFS in Cyberboard works that way. Keep the actual counters hidden in a tray, and use just the front side until time to reveal.

One case I can think of would be a game like Pax Romana, where all the player counters are visible, but there are counters representing "barbarian" forces that have a generic front side and a randomly varying value on the back side that is hidden from everyone. I guess the CB solution would work a little differently than the board game: Have just the generic marker on the board. Create a tray for the actual barbarian chit values that selects randomly. When a player attacks a barbarian space and needs to get a value for the barbarians, draw a chit from the tray. ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
