FAQ
EditQ: When another player captures a planet or otherwise interacts with a Trap attachment by manipulating the planet card it is attached to, is that trap revealed to that player?
Q: If the Li-Zho player reveals a Gravitic Inhibitor trap, which of the other players' ships are subject to its movement restrictions?
Reinforcements are common knowledge, so if the Li-Zho player only has one trap on the board can other players check the Li-Zho reinforcements to confirm what that trap is?
No.
Wait, I just read "You do not count trap attachments toward fulfilling objectives" in the Subterfuge faction ability. Does that mean other players can count them toward fulfilling objectives?
Yes.
