IOT Designer – The Internet-of-Things Card Game

IOT Designer is a fast-paced, scalable card game that makes the world of IoT (Internet of Things) fun, creative, and accessible to everyone. At its core, the game challenges players to transform everyday products into “smart” devices by combining connectivity, sensors, power sources, and added abilities.
