While getting ready to run my first session tomorrow, I puzzled over how to do the reveals when everyone involved in a fight is instructed to "spend blind, without knowing how your opponent is spending theirs." Easy enough to do this with paper and pencil, of course, but even more elegant might be little playmat marked with icons for each of the three options. The top half of the playmat folds up to create a private space behind which players arrange tokens (beads, dice, coins) equal to their "spend."
Hope this proves helpful for other playtesters. The .pdf is meant to be printed out double-sided, then cut and folded as per instructions.
