Can you look at your face-down cards in Skyjo?
No. You may not privately inspect face-down cards unless a rule action reveals or replaces them.
Answer in context
Your hidden cards stay unknown, even to you. They become visible at setup, through a permitted reveal, when replaced, or at round scoring.
You draw a 2 and would like to know which of your face-down cards to cover with it. You may not lift a corner to find out. You choose a position blind, or you discard the 2 and reveal a card, which tells you what is there but costs you the 2.
Lifting a corner to check and putting it back changes the information in the game and is not part of the Classic rules.
This answer is for Classic Skyjo unless stated otherwise. Action and Junior may use different mechanics, and Voyage follows the original Classic gameplay.
