ha! these are rad. But tbh they look more like electronic dominos. The docking station makes them less card like too (but love the way you've arranged the contacts)

Ah thanks, I worked hard on the contacts.
There's a thin and flexible e-ink display I could use instead, but they're $20 each instead of $4. I agree they're a bit chunky in this form :)
I agree the docking station detracts a bit from the naturalness of just playing on a table.
I decided to build what middle-school-me would have wanted to play with. I took a lot of inspiration from Yu-Gi-Oh which has the same docking station concept (just executed much better, where you wear it on your wrist).
it looks great - its not often the electronics portion of a project is executed with aesthetics in mind.
