CSS - Incorrect overlpapping - 3D Perspective-CodePudding

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 >
        <div id="cardContents" >
            <div ><h2>A</h2></div>
            <div ><p>Once there was a dog...</p></div>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div >
        <div id="cardContents" >
            <div ><h2>STORY</h2></div>
            <div ><p>A dog and a frog...</p></div>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div >
        <div id="cardContents" >
            <div ><h2>ABOUT</h2></div>
            <div ><p>The frog sat on the dog...</p></div>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div >
        <div id="cardContents" >
            <div ><h2>A</h2></div>
            <div ><p>Like the dog was a log...</p></div>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div >
        <div id="cardContents" >
            <div ><h2>DOG</h2></div>
            <div ><p>The dog ate the frog...!</p></div>
        </div>
    </div>

CSS:

*, *::before, *::after{
    margin: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body{
    height:100vh;
    display:flex;
    justify-content:center;
    align-items: center;
    font-family: 'calibri';
    perspective:700px;
    background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000, #666)
}

.card{
    margin: auto 10px;
    width:6em;    
    border: 1px solid white;
    border-radius:0.3em;
    perspective: 700px;
    transform: rotateX(45deg);
    transform-style: preserve-3d;
    transform-origin:bottom;
}

#cardContents{
    position: relative;
    width: 6em;
    height: 8em;
    border-radius:0.3em;
    text-align: center;
    transition: transform 0.5s;
    transform-style: preserve-3d;
    transform-origin:bottom;
}

.cardFront, .cardBack{
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    border-radius: 0.3em;
    backface-visibility: hidden;
    transform-style: preserve-3d;
    display:grid;
    align-content: center;
}

.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.

CodePudding user response：

add z-index to the hovered card only

.card:hover {
  z-index:1;
}
