I've thought about this concept a lot.

Cards are kind of tricky because you probably have a good number of them that will require many updates, and I suspect having a configurable board would actually unlock more cool stuff. Something like RFID cards that an EInk board could detect when placed and render game impacts would be nifty.

Smart cards (and of course just plain old video games) let you do a bit of fun stuff like interact with piles without everyone seeing that you interacted with a specific pile.

My real dream is to have it on dice to have on the fly configurable distributions of outcomes.
