Actually there are numerous ways in VtES that one could cheat based on face-down cards. Quite a few cards in the game interact with the facedown uncontrolled minions, and many of them have restrictions (the uncontrolled minion has to be younger, or the same clan, than an acting minion, etc).
Thanks for chiming in. I haven't played VTES in ages, so my memory is rather thin about it. You're right that there are a number of interactions that could come into play.

In a tournament setting it's perfectly valid to ask a judge to check the legality of such a play, either mid-game or post-game, but it's not likely to happen unless the other players have strong suspicions or are trying to be jerks.
This is pretty much where I'm at.
