Smart Playing Cards - Enhancing the Gaming Experience With RFID

Overview The idea of pervasive gaming, where traditional, tabletop games are enhanced with wireless computing devices, has recently received increased attention. This paper presents a card game that is augmented with information technology to advise novice players and to relieve the players of mundane tasks, such as score keeping. The paper outlines in particular the efforts to build a system that preserves the assets of conventional card games. The paper shows how appropriate RFID system design results in a portable solution which requires minimal changes and disruptions to the conventional game flow and which works reliably.
