I don't know if this is what happened, but I had 2 players in a 6 player game always be able to see each other's personal hands. I wasn't able to identify the problem, but I think it was because 2 players randomly got assigned the same ID. If that is possible, there should be a PR at some point to close that loophole. If that isn't possible, then just close this issue and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it won't happen again.

Sort of related, it would be good to know how (if possible) a player could refresh his cache and clear out the player ID so he could get a new one. Is it as simple as emptying the browser cache? (Although for some of the older guys I play with, that might be a challenge).

It's possible.

The easiest way right now is for one of them to leave and then the other renames themselves in the players overlay. Then the former player can rejoin and will have the old name.

ctrl-shift-del then clear "cookies and other site data" worked for me to get a new player ID.
