The same cards that supply sagas also use their symbols to drive the actions of each AI. The tool has to be thin enough to bend easily and conform to the round shape of the tube as you slide it around the seal. When playing solo, there are three dummy players, each controlled by a deck of cards. If you're referring to the clear plastic clamshell type material, I think that might be a bit thick and rigid for this application.
