Skeuomorph is a word to which our mind occasionally wanders while playing digital card games, the idea of a technology imitating the ornamentation of the one it supplanted relevant for obvious reasons. But Floppy Knights bends the thought back on itself. Here, onscreen cards represent the contents of in-game floppy disks, which in turn project their data out into the world in the manner of a Pokéball.
