Trading or collectible card games that have cards that modify themselves with play would be great here. SolForge is the example I'm thinking of, but I'm sure other games do it too.
I wasn't really watching the images in the demo video, so at first I though he was transferring one image to another. This made me think it would be really cool if there were exactly one way to get a new image on your card: put it on a device that swaps two cards. You'd get a new image, but they'd lose theirs. So you'd actually have to commit to trading.
I guess that sounds a little like NFTs, but hopefully without the douchey scamminess.
I mean, yes, everything has value. I can write a memo in an NFT that I don't want to forget. Obviously we're talking about the value as compared to the price.
I thought it'd be so cool if all the cards from one town look one way, and they're different the next state over. So when you go on a school trip, you can pick up cards not available in your area.
> Mystic Vale uses the innovative "Card Crafting System", which lets you not only build your deck, but build the individual cards in your deck, customizing each card's abilities to exactly the strategy you want to follow.
You would probably want to go with fewer cards. But something like a deck builder could work.
That's something that goes tastefully beyond what pure normal playing cards can do.
Timers are totally doable.
