Selector card vs checkbox or radio inputs
A selector card is used similarly to a checkbox or a radio input, but selector cards can fit more information and context within the option, when a simple label in a radio is not enough or doesn't give enough emphasis.

Don't
Avoid using selector cards without icons for the (simple variant) or descriptions (for the descriptive variant)
Simple vs Descriptive variant
The selector card has 2 different variants, below you can find when to use one vs the other.
Do
Use simple selector cards if they are part of a bigger form on the same page.
Do
Use descriptive selector cards when they are a stand-alone thing or part of a multi-step form.
