What kind of item is it?
In Go-Stop, not knowing which cards your opponent holds adds to the tension. Playing face to face, you might sneak a glance, but you can’t do that in a computer game. Opponent Peek is an item that shows you the opponent’s hand face up for a short moment.
Let’s look at the effect in detail
- When you use the item, an ‘Opponent’s hand (3 sec)’ window appears at the top of the screen, showing all the cards the opponent holds face up in a row.
- The window disappears by itself after 3 seconds.
- The hand your opponent receives at the start of a round is 10 cards (confirmed with the game engine). It gets smaller as cards are played during the round.
You only see them for 3 seconds, so memorizing them by month is important. Start with the eye-catching cards, such as Brights and Double Junk.
How to use
Items can be used only after logging in. If you aren’t logged in, you’ll see the message ‘Available after logging in’.
- Step 1 When it’s your turn and you need to play a card, tap the Opponent Peek picture on the item shelf. The item pictures are arranged in 2 columns and 5 rows. Hover over one with the mouse and a small tooltip shows its effect (or the reason you can’t use it).
- Step 2 The game pauses briefly, the screen dims, and an ‘Item’ description window opens. A large picture is on the left; the name, HP price and effect description are on the right.
- Step 3 Press [Use] and it takes effect right away. If you have an owned copy from a gift, it goes down by 1 (HP isn’t used); if you have none, the price is deducted from your HP.
- Step 4 When you can’t use it right now, [Use] is dimmed and the reason appears in red text (for example: Not enough HP, Can only be used on your turn).
- Step 5 If you’d rather not use it and just close the window, press [Close] (or the Esc key). The item and your HP stay as they were, and the game continues.

The picture above shows the description window redrawn as text. ○○ and △△ show your own HP.
You can also use the keyboard: Enter or Space = press the selected button, Left/Right arrow keys or Tab = move between buttons.
When is a good time to use it?
- It can be a reference when you’re curious which Brights or Ribbons your opponent may hold.
- It helps you gauge whether your opponent can capture the card you’re about to play, and what cards your opponent is aiming for.
- The price is on the high side (250 HP), so it’s also a good idea to use it sparingly, once in a round that really matters.
- If you’re also curious about the top of the deck, you can use Deck Peek separately in the same round.
Things to watch out for and limits
These are the conditions for use set by the game.
| In cases like these | Messages shown on the screen |
|---|---|
| When you aren’t logged in | Available after logging in |
| Rounds in modes other than Endless (Single Match, Tournament, War of the Gods) | Only usable in Endless mode |
| Items already used this round | Already used this round |
| When not to use it | Can only be used on your turn |
| When another window (popup) is open | Can’t be used right now |
| When you don’t have enough HP (and no owned copy) | Not enough HP (250 HP needed) |
It can only be used on your turn, and only once per round. The cards you saw don’t stay the same until the end of the round. Your opponent also plays cards and captures new ones, so their hand changes.
HP and the daily gift
Items are paid for with HP (Healing Points). The moment you press [Use], HP goes down by the price, and if you don’t have enough HP you can’t use it (your balance never goes negative). HP can be earned as a reward for winning a round or making a great hand.
Once a day, when you connect, you receive 1 item as a gift. It is 1 random item out of the 10 items. Even if you log in again the same day or restart the game, the gift is only once (the date is based on your own computer’s date).
An item received as a gift is shown next to its shelf picture as ×count. When you use that item, one owned copy is used first instead of HP, and HP doesn’t go down. If you have an owned copy you can use it even when you’re short of HP (the once-per-round limit still applies, though).

When you use an item, the opponent character may react with a short line. When you use a peek item, the opponent may look flustered or annoyed. It’s only a reaction; it doesn’t change the opponent’s cards or the result of the game. This speech bubble is just for atmosphere and has nothing to do with the item’s effect, and you can turn it off under ‘Opponent chat settings…’ in the ☰ menu. For details, see the post HealingMatgo, where you chat with your opponent.
