Not sure... I think Castle Falkenstein used cards, but I don't know how. 

There was also a Drama Deck in TORG (which Shane worked on at one point I
think), but that was a very different mechanic... from what I understand
(never played it) the standard TORG adventure went something like: Find out
who the bad guy is, then wander around aimlessly and beat the snot out of
weak underlings or random encounters until you get a really sweet hand from
the Drama Deck, then smear the bad guy with Drama cards. So it's not
exactly the same thing as a sleeve card, but you could hold onto the Drama
cards until an important or dramatic fight came along.
