Introduced in	"Card Wars"

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 rulesEdit

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.

CardsEdit

There are many cards in the game. The known cards are:

Name	Picture	Powers
Ancient Scholar		Study is used to command the Ancient Scholar to go to the Schoolhouse study so it can discover new powers just like Resurrect that Finn used. Raise the dead is used to bring a dead ally back to life but, to use it you need to do study it first to unlock it like he resurrected the Pig.
Finn used the Study ability in order to learn Resurrect, which he then used to bring back his Pig card. It was one of the only known cards on Finn's base, and was around the Cool Dog most of the time. He looks like a wizard who wears a purple cloak with a hood.

Jake summons Archer Dan on the last turn of the game and destroys all of Finn's buildings at once.

Finn sends his Pig here to rest up. Jake attempts to attack the Pig, but is unable to affect him. Eventually, he uses Volcano to destroy the Cave of Solitude along with the Pig.
Cerebral Bloodstorm		This card can do damage by raining blood. When the opponent is not actually attacking, this card only does damage to its own attackers.
Jake uses Silo of Truth to take this card from Finn and uses it on his first attack phase, but because Finn wasn't attacking Cerebral Bloodstorm only did damage to Jake's troops.

Jake attempts to attack Finn with these creatures twice, but they are defeated by Pig eating Jake's Cornfield (their source of power) both times.
Immortal Maize Walker		Cornfields give the Immortal Maize Walker triple damage. It is a creature that can walk on the useless swamp.
This card was used by Jake to attack Finn, but it was stolen by Finn's Spirit Tower. Jake later took it back by use of his Field Reaper. When powered up by corn its features become more jagged and lightning-like and sparks shoot off of its body.

Jake attempts to kill Finn's Pig by scaring it to death, but Pig is sleeping in the Cave of Solitude and unaffected.
