Show cards already played
It would be very helpful, if you would display the cards rpeviously played. There are two instances, where this is especially important:
1.: Wild Cards
When a player wants to know how she used my Wild Cards, all she can do is page back through the previous scenes and find the instances where she played cards. This is rather cumbersome. It would be better, if you could see the cards you have spent and how you have spent them on your character sheet.
2.:Status of Challenges
Yuu can see if a challenge is heading toward toward a weak or strong outcome, but you cannot tell, how solid the status of the challenge is beforehand. To see that, you have to scroll back through a scene and look at every post played toward a challenge. It would be easier if you could just click on a challenge and then had a link telling you, what cards have been spent on that challenge.
And as I am writing this, another thing regarding cards already played comes to mind:
It would be helpful for the narrator, to be able to tell who has spent how many cards already. You could display this information with the player icons to the left side under Cast. Or at least in the popup when clicking a player icon.

Allow players to see their character 'sheet.'
I have core strengths and weaknesses, but if I've spent those cards, I can't see them _anywhere_ and that makes it impossible to reference.
I have to be able to see what cards I started with or that I will have after refresh in order to understand my character (and not duplicate cards with my wilds).
Just make them visible on the character screen, but greyed out. -

Just adding my "yes, please" to this. Right now I'm adding my created cards to my character descriptions, but I inevitably forget to update them every time I create a new strength/weakness, so I have to go back through my moves and see what I created before I can use a wild. It would be an incredible time saver if the system could auto-generate a list showing the additions.

It would be able to see all the strength/weakness cards belonging to a character. Right now I end up keeping track of them outside Storium, otherwise I never know if I'm re-creating an existing card when I need to use a wild card.

Offer to the player making a move a list of previously played 'wild' cards, if not all cards played. Sometimes I like to pick up and reuse a card I've played before.

Not sure why this isn't under review! It would be SO helpful.

Being able to see cards previously played also helps to build character. Wild cards will often more deeply define a character than the original ones chosen, and so having an archive section in the character display would really help.

It would help us as players know what to write for wilds if we could see our card history.
