Cartoon Network And Machinima Team Up For Adventure Time Card Wars Kingdom Tournament
Cartoon Network and video gaming/fandom entertainment website Machinima have teamed up to host an Adventure Time Card Wars tournament to promote the release of the sequel of the highly successful 2015 Card Wars mobile game. The new game – Adventure Time Card Wars Kingdom – will be released on Thursday 14th July on Google Play (Android), Apple App Store (iOS) and the Amazon App Store (Fire/Android). Card Wars is a TCG (trading card game) which requires strategy and an element of luck, the game has also featured in two notable episodes of Adventure Time – Card Wars and Daddy-Daughter Card Wars.
Machinima will be hosting a Card Wars tournament using the new game (via a livestream) on Friday 15th July (the day after the game’s launch) at 8pm BST, the name of the single elimination live tournament will be called “Let’s Play Flooping Card Wars!”, a reference to “flooping”, a type of card move featured in the mobile game and in the show.
The tournament will feature four people from Machinima’s talent pool of highly skilled video gamers, including – ChimneySwift11, JeromeASE, CavemanFilms and TJ Smith Gaming. The tournament will have three rounds of two matches, with the winner of the third round taking home the Adventure Time Card Wars Kingdom crown.
The Card Wars game sequel also follows the sequel of the Adventure Time’s Card Wars episode which premiered on Cartoon Network USA yesterday (07/07/2016). In the episode “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars”, Jake needed his daughter Charlie’s help in an underground Card Wars tourney to move on from his embarrassing past.
