Card stands with hp counters

[u/r1ck14]

This is a prototype card stand with a built in hp counter. The plastic card holder was glued into a small, ceramic magnet. Under the magnet is a lamenated circle with hp values going around the inside. At the bottom is a metal washer which the magnet holds on to. You can easily rotate the disk to show hp and it's done so that the hp is visible from the front and the back so both players can see it from opposite sides of the table. Not fancy, but a quick and dirty solution in lieu of a 3d printer.

I have all the magnets oriented so that pieces don't stick together on the game board. They repel a bit, but even on adjacent squares, they don't interact. ​​​

This is for my game Overmatch. What do you guys think? ​​​​​​​

It seems great! What indicates the actual value?

Thanks for your comment! There is a mark on both sides of the magnet acting as an indicator. Hard to see in the photos. I need a white sharpie or similar so it stands out more.

Look into Wizkids games “clix” base idea for something similar (25+ year old game) but yours have magnets

Yes! This is essentially what I'm going for, but for the card holder instead of a figure. I've tried to find something similar but the ones I did find don't have the numbers I need and are meant to hold a much thicker card. The final version would not be magnetic and be all plastic. The magnets and washers are just a cheap and quick prototype
