Cave event controls:
When Cave player is present, the event deck is locked and it is supposed to be controlled using the buttons.
Top 3 cards of the event deck are previewed in the hidden zone, seen only by the cave player. (Don't forget to select correct color for him)
Use "Deal event" buttons to choose on event card and put it in front of the Knight player. The other two cards will be put to the bottom of the deck.
Use "Crystal Curse" button to activate the bottom part of crystal curse omen power. The 3 cards displayed will go to the bottom of the deck.
Use "refresh" button if you manually manipulated the deck to make the preview updated.
