In board games such as Hex or Go, allow players to use a command to "point at the board" to display to other players an instance of the board with the specified piece or location highlighted, as is done automatically for the "last-played-piece".

Allow Kibitzers to do the same, but by default, only other kibitzers see the highlighted board.
Allow players to decide to see kibitzers' highlights as an option.

A couple of extra constants need to be whipped up and edge cases handed. Jokers aren't in one of the four suits; they're red or black. I'll knock out patches for str_to_card() and card_to_str() to handle and regurgitate '?B' and '?R'

All three of those games use the same copy-and-pasted code for playing cards and evaluating the tricks on the table. Making those "library" functions that all trick-taking games could use (remember to handle no-trump as well, even though Contract Bridge isn't in the game yet) would help drastically reduce code duplication.
