Allow guided matches with open decks

I suggest to implement following:

When interacting dirently with another player (the wheel when pressing F) and selecting cards and both players accept the match: Pop up a question to both players if it should be played with open deck or standard (player and not uncovered). If both players accept open deck the players can play the match with always the opponent's hand visible.

Why would I want that option? This is when another (better) player wants to help and train another one on how to play and how to improve. I think it is an important feature.

Zenimax could implement this differently if they decide to.
Instead of prompting players before each game, they might craft some special tutorial tables and sell for housing as achievement furnishing which has different color than existing achievement table.
Sitting at the said tables indicates player's readiness for an opened cards match.

Mh maybe. On the other hand you would need to invite that person to that house. And also it may be that neither of the two players owns a house.

Also one player would have to have this achievement before he could teach it to somebody else. Depending on the conditions to get this achievemeht it may be that the "teacher" is really good at ToT but has not invested time to get that achievement. That would be sad.

The "workaround" is a Discord room with talk and video, but this works if you both have two monitors and a good headset.

And this is where Bragas would have made a perfect ToT training dummy/intermediary between 2 players.. Alas, an opportunity totally overlooked by ZoS.
