A Hidden Information Violation is best described as looking at or for information that is normally hidden in a game–in other words, “peeking.” Two examples given in the Infraction Procedure Guide are looking at the cards that a neighbor is choosing while drafting and looking at the cards in an opponent’s deck while shuffling.
