1. An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of card devices, each card device of the plurality of card devices comprising;
a respective substrate having a front face and a back face;
a respective display coupled to the front face of the respective substrate; and
a respective power element configured to provide power to the respective first display element and comprising a respective arrangement of first conductive elements configured to generate at least a portion of the power through induction caused by a time varying magnetic field proximate to the respective card device;
in which each card device of the plurality of card devices have a combined length, width, and height substantially similar to a playing card, and in which each of the plurality of card devices is configured to display a respective card value for a hand of a game; and
a charge device comprising;
an arrangement of second conductive elements; and
a driver configure to provide a voltage across the second conductive elements so that the time varying magnetic field is generated.
