I'm experimenting with CSS perspective to flip cards with a 3D effect, however when the right-most cards flip they are incorrectly overlapping. I have attempted to use Z-Index (which I am aware requires a positioning of anything but "static") however this has had no effect. Any help would be greatful. The project is in the following CodePen:

HTML:
<div class="card">
<div id="cardContents" class="cardContents1">
<div class="cardFront"><h2>A</h2></div>
<div class="cardBack"><p>Once there was a dog...</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div id="cardContents" class="cardContents2">
<div class="cardFront"><h2>STORY</h2></div>
<div class="cardBack"><p>A dog and a frog...</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div id="cardContents" class="cardContents3">
<div class="cardFront"><h2>ABOUT</h2></div>
<div class="cardBack"><p>The frog sat on the dog...</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div id="cardContents" class="cardContents2">
<div class="cardFront"><h2>A</h2></div>
<div class="cardBack"><p>Like the dog was a log...</p></div>
</div>

<div class="card">
<div id="cardContents" class="cardContents1">
<div class="cardFront"><h2>DOG</h2></div>
<div class="cardBack"><p>The dog ate the frog...!</p></div>

CSS:

body{

#cardContents{

.cardFront, .cardBack{

.cardFront{
background-color: pink;
border:0.2em solid white;
}
.cardBack{
transform: rotateY(180deg);
background: lightblue;
border:0.2em solid white;
}
.card:hover #cardContents{
transform: rotateX(-37deg) translateZ(100px) rotateY(180deg) translateY(-40px);
}
I've attempted to apply Z-Index to the various elements (.cardBack, .cardFront, .cardContents).
Any help gatefully appreciated. Thank you.
add z-index
to the hovered card only
.card:hover {
z-index:1;
}
