Maybe you only get to see the board they made their move in. You don't get to see the move unless you select that board to move in yourself. Or maybe you don't even get that much information. You only know what moves have been made in the board you select and no further info. Do they control that side board yet? Are they trying to rig the center boards?

Taking this further, you are stuck with the board you select. Even if it has already been won. You get to update the world board, but otherwise lose your turn.
