  <p><strong>Reveal</strong> – when a player reveals a card, he shows a card to all players and

  <p>Gain a Silver card, put it on top of your deck. Each other player reveals a Victory card and puts it on top of his deck. (or reveals a hand with no Victory cards).</p>

<p>When I play the card and a player does not have any victory cards in their hand, it instructs you to reveal a hand with none. Should they only reveal their hand to me or are they required to reveal their hand to the entire group of players?</p>

In Dominion, when it says reveal a card, who must I reveal it to?
