You should have the option to reveal either card when you are challenged, even if you have the correct card. #24

Currently, if someone challenges your action and you have the correct card, you automatically reveal the card and exchange it for a new one. However, the Coup rules state:

If a player is challenged they must prove they had the required influence by showing the relevant character is one of their face down cards. If they can't, or do not wish to, prove it, they lose the challenge.

So you should be able to reveal either card if you're challenged, even if you have the correct card. Of course, revealing the other card is rarely a good strategy, but it's very entertaining when it pays off.

Good suggestion. I never thought about this strategy before. I am not sure when I will have time to implement this, I'm busy with other priorities at the moment.

No problem. I would offer to implement it, but I'm also quite busy right now and have no experience with Node.js.
