Press C during your turn to look at the opponent's hand. The rule is that you can look at an opponent's whole hand at any time, but the tutorial never mentions the key and the interface does not point at it, so a lot of players only find it in a forum reply. If C does nothing, read the card-type symbols under each player's name instead — they show at a glance whether that player is holding Creatures, Weapons, Armor or Scrolls.
How to check the opponent's hand
- Wait for your turn. The check is only available while the turn is yours.
- Press C. The opponent's cards come up and you can read them before you commit to an invasion.
- Close the view and act. The check costs you nothing.
If the C press does nothing, the tutorial's restricted inputs are usually the reason — the tutorial blocks the key until it has taught its own subset. Beginner Tips covers the rest of the first-session habits.
Reading the card-type symbols
Under each player's name the symbols show the types that player is holding:
| Symbol | Card type |
|---|---|
| Creature | The units you can summon, and the ones you can invade with |
| Weapon | Equipment that changes a Creature's stats |
| Armor | Equipment that reduces damage |
| Scroll | One-use spells, including the land-casting ones |
That is the fast read. If the symbol row shows a Creature, you are looking at something you may have to fight for the land; if it shows Scrolls, you may be facing a land-caster rather than an army.
What the Steam build changed in the interface
The Steam version ships three UI improvements, and the publisher markets them as headline changes of the PC release:
- Improved visibility of character positions in Map Mode during battles.
- Improved card selection usability in the Information screen during battles.
- Improved movement direction indication at route junctions.
The Information screen is the panel the improved card selection belongs to, so that is where a hand is read rather than eyeballed off the table.
There is no published PC key map
No public source publishes a full key map for the PC build, so this page gives only the keyboard facts it can support: C checks the opponent's hand. For the rest of the controls, the how to play page has the full turn loop, and Steam Deck and controllers covers controller support on PC.
