What should a player do if they wish to look at a card privately?

If a player wishes to look at a card privately, the appropriate course of action is to ask for assistance from a judge. This maintains the integrity of the game and ensures that any actions taken are in accordance with the rules. By involving a judge, the player is ensuring that their request is handled transparently and fairly, which is important in a tournament setting where all players should have equal access to information.

Looking at a card silently, using an electronic device, or announcing it to all players does not provide the necessary confidentiality and could potentially compromise the state of the game or the information available to other players. In contrast, asking a judge helps to uphold the official conduct expected during gameplay.
