I’m not sure if “Compucards” qualifies as a children’s game; it bills itself as “Playing Cards with Binary Numbers, for the Computer Generation.” It dates from 1983, and was apparently a promotional item for Certacom, a “Telecommunications Equipment Distributor” in the UK. The standard four suits are used, but the numbers are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32; with face cards as 64 and 128. The joker is a Software Bug.
