Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If playing with it after changing its shape is considered playing with gambling cards in common understanding, then it is not permissible.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It appears that the mentioned game is a gambling device, and merely changing its shape does not exempt it from being considered a gambling device. However, if this change is recognized as a departure from being a gambling device in common understanding, then it is permissible to play with it without wagering.
