Correct, you reveal the card when its played, not before.

Where someone producing Cards somewhere? Id like to get my hands on a deck for a decent prize. Feels better than using an ordinary deck of cards.

Correct, cards are "covert", you do not have to say what they are until you play them.

But I believe you must declare what type of card you have purchased (e.g. "I have bought one Dirty Trick card for 50,000).

A standard tactic if you have a duff card is to keep it hand until late in the game, so that at least the threat of the card has some impact on play (like having a Wizard in reserve).

Hope this helps.

Don't know if it is written anywhere, but it should be. Cards should definately be covert.
