Answer

Ruling: The opponent whose hidden card was revealed may choose to either leave it as-is (with the opponent now knowing what it is) or re-randomize it by replacing it with another random hidden card from their hand if available.

Sequence:

  • If choosing to re-randomize: Take the revealed hidden card back to hand
  • Select another hidden card from hand randomly (if available)
  • Place the new hidden card face-down in the same position
  • The original card returns to hand

Nuances:

  • If the affected player has no other cards in hand, they can only choose to leave the hidden card as-is or shuffle it back into their deck (losing the card entirely)
  • The recycled rune used to play the hidden card remains recycled regardless of remedy chosen
  • If a player accidentally reveals their own hidden card, no remedy is applied - the information simply becomes known
  • The interpretation of "re-randomize with original randomized source" for hidden cards is unclear in the rules and may need official clarification
