  OK...was wonder about the honesty portion...this seems to address that, 
thanks.

Of course, if you're playing against Snidely Whiplash you are still not assured 
of an honest turn -- if Snidely initiated the CyberBoard game and, therefore, 
has access to the .gbx files for both players.  Dastardly Snidely could be 
keeping a running gamebox state for both players, using the opponent gbx file 
to circumvent whatever protections would normally keep prying eyes out of your 
cards.

CyberBoard would need to provide an alternate or additional, more complex 
method for initiating a game and protecting gbx content to secure the 
player-specific game files.  In the short-term, maybe have some third-party 
initiate the game, on your behalf, and email only the associated 
player-specific gbx file to each player; or, make sure both players have both 
gbx files available, to establish a trust equilibrium.
