Is it possible to turn poker into a puzzle game using mods?

[HANABI]

I've been looking at the FT mods thread and it got me thinking. If we can alter the cards to look like anything we want, with some effort we might be able to change poker from a card game into a turn based puzzle game, using images of lines and shapes to represent various ranks. For instance, 5 cards of successive rank could look like a straight line. Would be pretty cool and possibly more fun to play than current poker if it's possible to make it work well. What do you guys think? is it stupid or does it have potential?
