Cardiators is a Duel minigame that appears in Mario Party 8. Its name is a portmanteau of "card" and "gladiators."
Introduction[edit]
The two players enter a gladiator-like stadium from gated entranceways on opposite ends and face each other in the middle of the stadium.
Gameplay[edit]
Three facedown numbered cards appear, each with a number from one to three. Both players select a card, and the player whose number is higher goes first.
The players compete in an RPG-style card battle, with 20 Health Points each. A set of seven numbered cards from one to twelve is displayed facedown on a nearby table. Each player has ten seconds to pick a numbered card, which also has at least one character on it; if they do not make a selection, the card their cursor highlights is automatically picked for them. The character(s) is/are summoned to attack the opponent and deal damage equal to its/their value. The first player to reduce their opponent's HP to zero wins. If all seven cards are played and neither player has lost all their HP, a new set of seven cards appears.[1]
