Adventure Time: Card Wars: Finn vs. Jake

Like the episode it takes a coupla hours to learn how to play but eventually after several games of play you can become a Card Wars Super Amadeus. fans of the show will love it and the cool reference from the episodes such as Flooping the Pig, Husker Knights, Archer Dan etc.I play Magic the Gathering and this is a lot less complicated. You have 4 lanes and each person has 25 life. the goal is to protect those lanes with your creatures and defeat your opponent by whittling them down to zero life. It's that simple. It kinda get out of control with the damage tokens though, so that's probably my one small insignificant criticism of the game and you only limited to two action at most (there are some cards that gives you additional action). There is no explosive growth of action like in Magic the gathering (i.e. mana ramp).Jake's deck is basically a beatdown win asap deck. While Finn's deck require a little finesse think of it as a control deck. So yea you kinda need to be a Card Wars Super Amadeus to play it.Overall it's really fun if you are a fan of the show. It's FLOOPING AWESOME. If you're trying to get a deep game experience ermmm you just got to pray that they blow it up and get more expansion set, I really hope they do. I believe you can even combine other decks and make a deck of your own so that has a lot of potential for replay value. I would really like to see an Ice King, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, Lumpy Space Princess deck in the future. Definitely gonna grab the BMO vs Lady Rainicorn deck when it gets a little cheaper, it's kinda pricey for now.So don't be a dweeb, be a cool guy and purchase this game already.

I purchased this after watching the "card wars" episode. I was kind of reluctant to buy it due to the reviews, but it turned out to be awesome! Do not expect the same game F&J are playing. Does not have the super crazy rules and holographic table (which is no problem, I mean come on) along with the cards they used are spread across the games. E.G. Immortal Maize Walker and Wandering Bald Guy come with the BMO&Lady deck as well as the volcano and cave of solitude in the Bubblegum&LSP deck. Aside from that, the game is amazing! Very similar to Hearthstone where you have you minions attack each other an your opponent. The package came early, was in perfect condition, no cards missing, and has all the right area cards. One last thing, aside from the bad reviews and Jake's (above) quote, the game is not complicated at all. Just study them carefully, I had the rules learned in 10 minutes of opening the rule book. If adventure time is your thing, this is a very nice addition to your collection!

Purchased this product at the beginning of August 2018, shipped in a reasonably well amount of time, but I was anxious to receive it.Upon opening the box, I noticed the first cards I saw were the landscapes. The first one was falling out of the cardboard frame, which basically fell apart upon the first touch. The cardboard was extremely worn on them, and the punch-out tokens ripped slightly upon removal even though I was extremely careful.I figured that it wasn't that big of a deal, as I would be playing the game often enough to wear the cards out anyway, and that the product might be old and torn from shipping. But they did look used.My Blue Plains landscapes also had a sort of green marker substance smudged across them, I wasn't too thrilled when it didn't come off. They are still completely usable and just look like they've been though some rough battles.The front of the box mentions a "Bonus Code Inside" and it actually took me till my second game to find it. The code feels to be ignored as the Red "Secret Message" card was also shoved into the deck, which extremely confused me. I eventually found the card hidden within the deck on the second Pig Card. As a heavy player for the app I was thrilled to purchase this, but was extremely disappointed to find out that the code was just an extra pig card, completely useless to a player who is far in the game.Even though its had its rough and tumbles, the game is extremely thrilling to play at sleepovers, and to pass the time in the hot summer day. Jake's deck seemed to be extremely overpowered, and the rules are a bit messy, but a solution I found was to mix both the decks together, give each player 2 Blue Plains landscapes and 2 Cornfield landscapes, and randomly deal out 40 card for both players. It gives a great chance factor for great polls and makes it amazingly fair for everyone, instead of using the pre-assigned decks, which almost always result in the "Corn" Deck winning, unless the Blue Plains player gets lucky.Looking forward to purchasing more decks!

Me and my young adult friends are absolutely hooked. we play every Saturday after work and I have even got some of my coworkers into it during our breaks. Once one learns the rules one can pretty much teach any newbie how to play and they will be able to do things on their own after one match. Admittedly, I am not a battle card person at all and only some of my friends have played Magic the Gathering and/or Pokémon but whether this is one's first card game or one of many they will most likely enjoy themselves. The cardS are ridiculously funny, the game is simple enough to understand but can get very complex if one truly strategizes, and it never gets dull. I have thoroughly enjoyed this and I'm glad I exposed my friends to the game (even ones who do not like Adventure Time). However, I got both my decks for 20 dollars each. Sellers bring your price down for these people.
