Card Wars (game)



Card Wars is a card game that is played in the episode "Card Wars." The rules to the game are "super complicated," and it took Jake two hours to explain the basics of them to Finn.

Known rules
When the game starts, two players get approximately ten to twenty cards. There are two stages to a turn: a floop stage and a battle stage. A player may take any building card and floop it (turn it to the left) to appear as holograms on the board. Buildings have special effects which can aid the player using them. There are only two known elements of the game, which are corn and learning. Corn cards happen to be powered by corn fields, which are given to the player at the start of the game. Learning cards are powered by intelligence, so a player could send someone to learn, and in turn, that person will receive power. There are three segments of the players' land: the land, a mud pit, and an empty field. A player may select a creature and either activate it (turn it to the right) to make it attack one or more of the other player's creatures, or floop it to make it use its special ability. Also at the lower right corner of each creature card there are two numbers with a forward slash representing that specific card's stats. A player can also use activation to make a creature learn. Before beginning a turn, a player must discard a card from his or her hand and pick up another card from his or her deck. The player that loses all of his or her creatures and their buildings at the end of his or her turn first loses the game.

Trivia

 * The game is a parody of various trading card games. For example, "Flooping" (to turn a card sideways) is a reference to "tapping" in Magic: The Gathering. Tapping was patented by Richard Garfield, creator of the modern TCG, in 1993. (US patent # 5662332)
 * Card Wars bears a similarity to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
 * At present, there is a "Card Wars" game under development. The following is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdlChZQ1r1w
