Nintendo used to be a company that specialized in cards, although these days it's more associated with carts. They made a very successful transition into gaming, but still make cards in Japan.

I can't see Hasbro being as effective though. I'm sure Hasbro is just going to try to churn out shovelware that bears their IP so that they can monetize things they own.

The only way it could work IMO, is the other way around: a game dev company buying them.
