Showing cards?

players. What about cards in other meths hands? What I mean is cards
like Tortured Confession etc, which say "You may look at the opposing
vampire's controller's hand". Am I allowed (if I wish) to also show
the hand to some other players? The same question applies to abilities
that allow you to look at other players' crypts, libraries, etc.

But no rule says that you can not read aloud the contents of another
player's hand while using an effect like Tortured Confession or basic
Revelations. You may not make many friends that way however.

Nor does any rule state that you may not read off a list of fictional
card names that you'd like the other players to *think* this player has in
his hand, either. So all his cool. Anyone listening to your "list" will
need to hear it with a grain of salt.

Can you show cards from your hand to ALL other Methuselahs? Can you
play with an open hand just because you want to? There are plenty of
times where I wouldn't mind backing up a threat of rushing someone
with my Assamites by flashing the table a Clandestine Contract. ;)
It's not like it's sharing secret information, it's disclosing
information publicly.

No. (Unless some effect allows/forces you to)

It's disclosing *secret* information publicly, so it's a lot like
sharing secret information, actually.

have to trust you to say what they have got rather than what you want them
to think the other player's got.
