Kwizzcard printed electronic game cards do the impossible, make Magic: The Gathering even nerdier

Kwizzcard is apparently a game that involves a smiley face, a couple triangles, and good dose of Gevaarlijk kruispunt. But that isn't what has geeks the world o'er giddy with excitement. To be debuted at Printed Electronics World 2010, the game card itself is manufactured by an Austrian start-up called Prelonic and features one battery, two displays, and ten push buttons -- and all the electronics are, you guessed it, printed. But that ain't all! If you're in the biz, the company can customize the product any way you like, with everything from sensor to RFID modules. If you're interested, look up the company's CEO Friedrich Eibenstein. Be sure to tell him Engadget sent you.

Time to get my Geek on!

So how do you play.... Or how do they work...?

@Edobe

Well, from the image I can tell you that it's a dutch traffic sign 'quiz'. Signs on the left and their meanings on the right.

In this case I assume you are supposed to link the sign with it's meaning on the right (they're shuffled). But like the article says, you could put anything on those cards. I assume this is just an example.

Ps. Those 'gevaarlijk kruispunt' are dangerous crossroads. :)

Printed Electronics World aren't making good enough use of their name, and they need a different logo.. it should be "pew"

"make Magic: The Gathering even nerdier"

UNPOSSIBLE

[Hackettman Posted Feb 26th 2010 3:55PM]

@Prevacator

Agreed.....

[DeAthWaGer Posted Feb 26th 2010 4:27PM]

gimmicky card games, pffff...

Just like the Barcode Battler system, Nintendo e-reader for Gameboy Advance, and The Eye Of Judgement on PS3, it'll be trendy for a few seconds and die a suiting miserable death.

Hang the game, it's the printed electronics!

Bout f'ing time, it's been over 10 years. Tech companies are slack

Hmm. Interesting two-factor auth mechanism.

Bonus points for using it as the ultimate "captcha".
Press the buttons in the right sequence and it displays the code.
Wrong sequence, no code.

[rcappo Posted Feb 26th 2010 6:13PM]

[adspring Posted Feb 26th 2010 8:25PM]
