Game computer.
I was out on a multi-day hike and carried a set of cards with me that are supposed to act as conversation starters, when I came up with this idea. Why not have a mini eInk display where you can go through your usual card decks to have fun with your friends? Trivia questions, facts, jokes, conversation opener. It is light weight, the battery lasts for 30 days and you have more card decks with you on your trip to the café, the swimming pool, your next bikepacking trip or wherever you go next than you could ever carry.

About
Something analog, but still digital. You need to swap SD cards with your friends to get different card decks onto your computer. You can carry it everywhere you want and you will surely spark a smile on your friend's face. To all the kids in us.
Challenges
Right now I am facing the challenge to get the device ready for an E2E experience. To have a menu to switch games, develop the mechanics of games and everything with the capacity of a microcontroller & an eInk pad. Additionally, I have to become a game designer. But that should be fun, even though I do not know much trivia questions.
