Title: Worst Starting hand ever. Chapel on the board and couldn't even buy one

Couldn't even buy an estate!

This was a very weird glitch.  For this hand and the rest of the game I actually received 5 card hands... kinda.  I would get dealt 3 or 4 card hands that would magically reveal the other 1/2 cards as I played my first action or entered the buy phase for the coins. It seemed that it basically wasn't often showing me 2 of a card, but sometimes it was just different actions but it only showed 1.  It was kinda funny but I got slaughtered too..  I think I took a video of it somewhere, but I flip between like 6 computers so I need to find it.

That was like 2 weeks ago.  Just now I played a game with a player who was experiencing the exact same thing I just described.  So I guess it's a thing now?  Anyoneelse experience this?

It was kinda like playing hold em, but the other players got to see the board cards  ;D

Your opponent opened Snowy Village? Instead of Chapel?

The same thing happened to my fiancé; it seems to be a result of playing in an earlier version of the browser.

I am curious.  Since there were no ruins did she first draw 2 card hands?

it was a very curious open.  I think he was thinking heavy border guard and wanting the buy IIRC.

The browser is not displaying the stacked card counts, I think this is happening on some older versions of Safari. So you have 3 Coppers in hand, not 1.

For what it's worth I played on the Brave Browser (chromium based) when mine occurred.
