Card Wars is a card game that Finn and Jake play 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. It has also been made into an app, the wiki for which can be found here. There is a real-life version of Card Wars as well.
When the game starts, two players get approximately 10-20 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.
A player's land is divided into 4 parts, some of those lands being corn, wheat, blue, crystal, lizard, and burning. 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 their hand and pick up another card from their deck. The player that loses all of their creatures and their buildings at the end of their turn first loses the game.
The board of the game shows holographic projections of the played cards. The back of the cards are red in color with a white border. The cards have the letters, "C W," which stands for Card Wars, and there are flames in the background.
To start out, choose between Finn, Jake, Marceline the Vampire Queen, the Ice King or Princess Bubblegum, and discover the magical powers of each character. Your objective is to destroy all of your rival's creatures to become the Cool Guy. So take charge of your team as best you can and develop a good strategy if you want to destroy your rivals.
Your creatures and magic cards have a series of characteristics that you have to consider when placing them on the table. Each one has its own amount of energy. Without energy, you can't move. To understand all the mechanisms and types of attacks, you should complete the tutorial at the beginning of the game, given that every character is special and each action triggers a different reaction. Create a combined strategy with all your cards to beat a rival or ask your friends for help.
In Card Wars Kingdom you can create creatures in your laboratory, unlocking new cards that will help you improve your deck. The game is packed with humor from Adventure Time, letting fans enjoy Finn and Jake in every game. Fight against users from all over the world, battle it out in dungeons, and give Jake the pleasure of being better than everyone else in this fun game.

Card Wars is a formerly fictional trading card game that was shown in one episode of Adventure Time. That single 11-minute episode spawned an actual card game, which now has both a physical version in stores and an online version available for mobile. As a fan of Adventure Time and CCGs, I decided to check it out.
Premise aside, the game itself is pretty straightforward . It plays sort of like a cross between Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering. You have a set number of actions you can use to play cards and use abilities, then you fight. Lather, rinse, repeat, and the first person to zero life points loses. Anyone with any experience playing trading card games will have no problem picking up the rules; even the friend I tried it out with, who had never touched a CCG in her life, learned the game without too much trouble. I would even say it's a good introductory game for all CCGs.
One reason everyone liked it was the comical setting. Each player chooses a race to start with, with a randomised skill set. So, for example, I began with Commando Elves, whereas my daughter had Seafaring Ratmen. You play with this race for a few turns, before choosing to go into Decline, and selecting a new race. Put simply, the more you conquer, the more points you score.
Pros: Huge range of characters, adventure cards, strategies, allow for replay-ability and allow players to express their personality; easy to pick up the rules (roll a dice, do what the square tells you to)
I am assured by my son that this is a game actually played by Finn and Jake in the cartoon series Adventure Time. It is a two player strategy game that reminded me of playing Swords and Wizardry or Stratego with my Dad, though it has a different dynamic to those games. We used the Finn and Jake decks, but there are other decks you can buy for the other main characters that feature in the series.
We just enjoyed fighting with our creatures. In the end, I took 25 points of damage, making me The Dweeb and my son The Cool Guy. It took a while for the game to end, and younger players might be better off with a lower victory score to aim at, or they may lose interest.
We played the original US version of the game. Each player builds train routes between cities, scoring points each time they do. Routes are built by collecting the right cards, e.g. 3 black car cards, or 5 red etc. In addition, each player receives destination tickets. These contain pre-mapped routes, and if you successfully link these cities, you are awarded bonus points. Finally, there are bonus points available for the longest route.
"Card Wars" is the fourteenth episode of the fourth season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Somvilay Xayaphone and Bert Youn, from a story by Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, and Pendleton Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on July 16, 2012.
The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn and Jake play Card Wars, a tabletop game. But things take a turn for the worse when Jake becomes overly competitive.
It had originally been planned to produce the episode during the first season because McHale and Ward were actively playing immersive, worldbuilding games. The episode received largely positive critical reviews, with Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club applauding how the eponymous game lampooned Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, and Risk. Due to the episode's success, a mobile app and a physical version of the eponymous game have been released.
Once the game resumes, Finn purposely sacrifices his all-powerful Pig, allowing Jake to defeat him. Finn is forced to drink the disgusting liquid concoction, but manages to trick Jake into trying it. The episode ends with the two brothers happily sharing the nasty drink, seemingly on friendly terms again.
"Card Wars" was written and storyboarded by Bert Youn and Somvilay Xayaphone, from a story developed by series creator Pendleton Ward, Patrick McHale, and Kent Osborne. The episode was directed by Larry Leichliter.[2] During the middle of the episode, both Finn and Jake are depicted with grotesque, off-model faces, a trademark of Youn's storyboarding style. These faces necessitated lead character designer Andy Ristaino to drew several unique, key frames, colloquially known as "Bert Youn Specials".[3] Ristaino revealed that he drew at least three of these faces for the episode.[4] Ward later noted, in the DVD commentary for the third season episode "Another Way", that "Card Wars" featured Youn's most extreme and exaggerated faces.[5]
