That's around 5000 refreshes, being a bit charitable. If I'm playing cards, I might see that in a few days, as I'm going to be doing tens or hundreds of refreshes a day, rather than one.

If the cards are always on a table / special playing surface, they could be wirelessly charged during play.
Some variants use NFC power to drive the display update, so no batteries!
I didn't realize NFC could deliver enough power for that. I'll look into it.

I think it would really depends on what game you're playing. From what I gathered from the article it's not really meant to replace a standard deck of cards but more aimed towards board games. People that are serious about board gaming will usually have 1 session/week , sometimes but rarely more, often less. So I'm sure on average each card will get more than 7 refreshes/week but it will probably be in the acceptable range.
