Abstract
An assembly for electronically performing card games through data transmission between a game console and RFID elements, for reading out and/or changing game status or game course representing data and data characterizing player features. A game pad is provided with defined game fields for receiving data carriers whose information can be read out. An antenna coil device is embedded into the game pad, allowing the readout of game fields. At least one RFID-element is provided with autonomous power supply and a transmitter/receiver unit for data transfer to the console, and with optical and/or acoustic display elements. The RFID-element inductively enters into a data exchange connection with a coupling coil section of the antenna coil device so that the game card data carriers of the respective game field group are readable and possibly changeable, wherein furthermore a signaling element signalizes the reading of the game card data carriers.
