CATAN
Are resource cards in hand kept secret in Catan?
The setup section says each player keeps resource cards hidden in their hand.

Yes. Each player keeps resource cards hidden in hand, so only the number of cards each player holds is public. Playing with open hands is a house rule some groups use.
