Information in an Infinity game can be either Open or Private.
Consider any piece of information on a player's Army List that is not explicitly Private as Open and knowable to all. You must share Open Information about your Army List while you deploy your Models, Markers and Tokens during the Deployment Phase, and also any time your opponent asks during the game.
Private Information is information you can keep to yourself that your opponent cannot ask about. Your Private Information remains secret until a specific game event forces you to disclose it.
You are required to write down all Private Information before the game starts to show your opponent if necessary.
These pieces of information are Private in Infinity:
- Your Troopers’ Cost and SWC.
- The presence of Troopers possessing the Combat Jump or Parachutist Special Skill.
- The contents of your Camouflage Markers.
- The presence of Hidden Deployment troopers.
- The presence of troopers disguised by HoloMask.
- The contents of your Markers.
- The identity of Troops with Chain of Command or Counterintelligence.
- The identity of your Lieutenant.
When the game ends, an Army List’s Private Information becomes Open Information.
