At times there were too many cards to count, at others none at all were visible, seeming to have vanished into some dimension well beyond the third, though this could have been a trick of what light there was.

"At times there were too many cards to count"
This probably represents how many choices every person has every second of their lives. We have too many options and are sometimes paralyzed by the enormity of it all. But most often we just make the easiest choices which is probably why, in the end, the "game" represents our "life choices" by only using three cards.
"at others none at all were visible"
At these moments, Jesus was carrying you.
"vanished into some dimension well beyond the third"
That would probably be like the sixth or the seventh because of the modifier "well beyond." But it's also simply a nonsense description of what Miles and Lindsay's eyesight was capable of telling their brains. The cards "seemed to have" done this impossible thing. Everybody knows they weren't actually! Although if they were, it wouldn't be surprising because the boys are living through historic times, especially in the fields of science and engineering and workers' rights!
"could have been a trick of what light there was"
Oh! We're back to the theme of light! Here we see that light is tricky. It can fool the senses, depending on how much or how little exists at any one point in time and space. Remember the words of Thelonious Monk: it's always night or we wouldn't need light. Even if light is a little trickster prankster jerk. It's the best we've got to combat night!
