Displaying simple text

Hi,
I am kinda new to unity and I just want to display some text in my game. I was searching and trying some ways (including UI) which works although, but isnt there some better way to to create dynamically changeable text?

I need it for my card game, which is 3D. (it was meant to be 2D but I rotated the board a bit - i find it kinda cool, and i am creating it in 3d mode so I guess/hope its 3D)

Thank you for every answer
