— Sensei, Card-Jitsu Snow trailer

Card-Jitsu Snow was the last Card-Jitsu game in Club Penguin, and the fourth addition to the Card-Jitsu Series; succeeding Card-Jitsu Water. Testing began on February 28, 2013 and ended on April 11, 2013. It was released during the Card-Jitsu Party 2013 on May 23, 2013.[1] In the game, penguins took on three Snow Minions enemies; Scrap, Tank, and Sly; and later their walrus leader, Tusk: a friend from Sensei's childhood, who had since turned against him.

Gameplay[]

The game is played on a 5x9 tiled grid atop a snow-covered mountain. The ninja players start on the left side of the grid and the snowmen start on the right side of the grid. The players and the snowmen take it in turns to play: each turn consisting of up to one movement and one action (deal damage to an enemy, revive a fallen ninja, heal a fellow ninja (snow ninja only), play a power card, or play a revive card (members only)). When it is the players' turn, tiles within range are highlighted blue and actions within range appear as a white target on the tile.

Every time the player moves, performs an action (excepting playing cards) or is damaged by an enemy, they charge their power meter. When the power meter is filled, they are rewarded a power card of their element (unless they already have four). Power cards can be selected from the interface at the bottom of the screen and then played on any of the red highlighted tiles to deal damage and/or heal ninjas (snow cards only) in a 3x3 radius of the tile placed.

Each player and enemy has a health bar. When a snowman loses all of its health, it is defeated and quickly disappears. When a player loses all their health, they become stuck in the snow and cannot continue playing until they play a revive card or are revived by another player. Each round consists of 1-3 snowmen and once all of them have been defeated, the round ends. There are three rounds to beat before the match is won. Alternatively, a match can be lost if all three players become stuck in the snow at the same time.

At the end of the game the player is awarded with coins, and progress towards completing their Snow Ninja suit and the Card-Jitsu Saga, varying depending on the success of the game. Once the full suit has been received, the Snow Gem is received and the Tusk Battle variation of the game is unlocked. By defeating Tusk, the player is considered a Snow Ninja and is awarded Tusk's Cape.

Bonus round[]

If a certain condition is met upon completing the third round, players can enter a special bonus round. In this round, Ninjas face off against four snowmen. Defeating all four snowmen earns players the Bonus Win Stamp.

There are three different ways to enter a Bonus Round. One way is it to make it through all three rounds without a Ninja falling to an enemy snowman. This was the only the way to enter a bonus round while the game was in beta testing. Another way is to finish the third round with all ninjas at full health. Doing so will earn players the Full Health Stamp. The final way to enter the bonus round is by completing all three rounds within a certain matter of time (most of the time it is around 4 minutes). The different ways to enter the bonus round are given at random and aren't in any particular order.

Revive Card[]

The Bonus Revive Power Card was a feature that was added for members in August, 2013. It allows players to revive and/or heal to full health at one point in the game, making it easier to enter a bonus round.

Villains[]

Unlike the other games in the Card-Jitsu Series, penguins fight alongside the other Ninjas against three evil Snowmen enemies. They have a grudge with the Ninjas, because they are doing Tusk's bidding to defeat Sensei and his ninjas, and to destroy the Dojo. The villains are:

Video[]

Just like Card-Jitsu Fire and Card-Jitsu Water, Card-Jitsu Snow has a video trailer. It is notably different from the trailers for the other Card-Jitsu spin-off games as instead of an unknown announcer, Sensei speaks directly to the viewer (voiced by the same voice actor from Never Wake a Sleeping Sensei).

Battle areas[]

Ninja Tips[]

At the start of each game, a randomly selected Ninja Tip would be displayed on the loading screen, selected out of the following:

  • Play a power card to deal double damage to your target.
  • Power Cards impact 9 tiles.
  • Stop enemies from attacking the Snow Ninja by blocking their path.
  • Create a combo when 2 or more ninjas play a Power Card in the same turn.
  • Each turn, choose a move and an action - attack, revive, or Power Card attack.
  • Every move, action, and hit charges your power meter. Unlock a Power Card when the meter is full.
  • Ninjas can hold 4 mighty Power Cards at a time. You must play a card to collect the next.
  • Get the most out of your Power Cards. Try to strike all enemies in range on a single attack.
  • Power Cards are dealt randomly. Keep charging your power meter to play all the cards you own.
  • Ninja down? Use a turn to revive your teammate.
  • Ward off nearby enemies before reviving a ninja to keep them safe.
  • Scrap swings at ninjas standing next to his target. Don't huddle together around him.
  • Sly hits harder from a distance. Get in close to take less damage.
  • Snow Ninja - Heal ninjas with Power Cards to keep the team strong.
  • Snow Power Cards can revive a fallen ninja. Watch out for nearby enemies, who may attack again!
  • Snow Ninja - Keep your distance from enemies and use your impressive range.
  • Tank thwacks 3 tiles in a strike. Don't stand shoulder-to-shoulder in front of him.

A different selection Ninja Tips appeared when facing Tusk. They were:

  • Avoid Tusk's attack! He blasts icicles down 2 rows at a time, across the board.
  • Fire Ninja - Stun Tusk between row attacks to delay icicle storms and blast backs.
  • Sensei will back you up with a Power Card attack every 3 turns.
  • Sensei's Snow Power Card comes 3 turns after his Water attack. Stay near the middle to be healed.
  • Stack up behind other ninjas for Tusk's blast attack. The ninja in front won't fly back as far and can attack Tusk faster.

Trivia[]

  • Power Cards are the only type of Card-Jitsu Cards that can be used in the game.
  • Unlike Card-Jitsu Water and Card-Jitsu Fire, you are able to earn coins while you are playing.
  • It is the only mini-game in Club Penguin to ever have its own public beta testing.
  • It is the only Card-Jitsu game to have videos as rewards and other rewards than the Snow Ninja Suit, Snow Gem, and the Card-Jitsu Saga.
  • This is the only Card-Jitsu game where you may not necessarily play with players on the same server as you, as this game all connects through the same port, not to a port specific to that server, to make it easier for non-busy servers.
    • This explains why there are no game mats at the Snow Dojo.
  • This is the only multiplayer game where there must be 3 players to play.
  • This is the first game to have a fixed screen size.
  • This is the only Card-Jitsu game where you do not have to defeat Sensei to become the actual ninja. Instead, you must defeat Tusk, Sensei's worst enemy.
  • Card Jitsu Snow gets played about 100,000 - 500,000 times each day on both the web, and on mobile.[2]
  • This is the only Card-Jitsu game where Sensei helps you.
  • This is the only Card Jitsu game where you do not play against other ninjas.

Glitches[]

  • Whenever you go to the bridge to play the game, nothing happens, the screen just turns white. This happens very often.
  • When you select an element, then in the loading page (when you wait for other players), an error shows: "Sorry there was an error matching you with other players. Please try again.". This bug is being fixed and will be fixed soon. This glitch is also on the Club Penguin App.
  • When you see the loading page, it loads forever or it shows as an error. It happens often.
  • The game starts but it becomes too slow or buggy/glitchy and sometimes stops and you have to log off.
  • The game sometimes says "too many players have quit". This is the most common bug.
  • During loading, there is a download page that pops out, but when you close the download page, it says that there is an error and you have to either press the "x" or log off. This glitch is quite uncommon for most people.
  • When you try to play the game (usually after you have already played it just before) it says you are already logged in, even if you are not.
  • Sometimes, when you've picked which ninja type to be in the battle against Tusk, Club Penguin will only pick 1 other ninja, sometimes even no other ninjas.
  • After playing a game of Card-Jitsu, your penguin's clothes might randomly disappear (as pictured).
  • Sometimes on the Club Penguin App, Tusk becomes invisible and you are unable to click the red target.
  • Your percent needed is different from what it says you have at the end of the last game you played.
