#140841: "Make completed orders visible"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
The published rules for this game say that after deliveries are made, order cards should be turned face down. Hiding known information is an okay mechanic when playing around a table in real life, but it falls apart when playing online asynchronously (especially if you have more than one game in progress).

It's made even worse in asynchronous games because deliveries happen on other players' turns and are not reported in the gamelog, so the only way to find out what happened is either to keep copious notes on all the open orders players have and note the changes, or go back through the replay (which is always a fraught process on BGA, probably because of the load it puts on the server).

(For example, table 567892127 is on move 162. When I tried to do a replay from turn 17 (when an delivery was made), the screen displays the "Previously on..." message and then stops. I've had similar problems on other games, so I doubt this is an issue with the Coal Baron implementation.)

Though this is less of an issue playing playing live online, players can very easily take notes, and now, instead of a test of "memory", it's an advantage of players who have extra screen space and enjoy note-taking.
