Secret History

Unchanged [throughout playtesting].

Wording

"Revealed" means "also, reveal those Coppers, so that we know they are Coppers. By the way sorry for saying this so tersely but there's only so much room on the cards and if it had ever confused anyone in playtesting man I would have changed it."

—Donald X. Vaccarino, Renaissance Previews #5: Fair, Silos, Citadel, Star Chart, Sewers, Innovation

I am looking at the image. Possibly "revealing them" would fit if I changed "that many" to "as many." That sounds plausible and, given people's comments, probably better. Another classic trick is to change "any number" to e.g. "up to 5"; I'm not sure that does it. When it came time to do the layout, the expansion symbol got in the way on Innovation and it ended up three lines, so you could argue, just give up on sticking to two lines, how is that worth more than clarity. And if I spoke up with a rant about complexity and how man this one set was sticking to two lines on these cards, well there's always not doing Silos.
