July will be an event-filled month in Cryptozoic Entertainment’s rollout of Adventure Time: Card Wars—Doubles Tournament, the follow-up to the highly successful Adventure Time: Card Wars, which is based on a “meta” card game (Card Wars) that was depicted in the fourth season “Card Wars” episode of Adventure Time, and which lampoons the more ridiculous aspects of games like Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, and Risk.  

The four-person Adventure Time: Card Wars—Doubles Tournament (MSRP $35), which includes 160 cards, 16 landscape tiles, 4 hero cards, hit points, frozen tokens, and a rulebook, is due out in Q3 (see “Four Player Version of Adventure Time: Card Wars”), and Crypto (and the folks at Adventure Time) have devised an elaborate rollout of the game that begins on July 7 with the airing of the “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars” episode of Adventure Time, an all-new episode in which Jake needs his daughter Charlie’s help to win a Card Wars doubles tournament against a longtime rival.

The “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars” episode will be available for streaming on July 8, but the key date for many Adventure Time fans comes on July 12 when the “Daddy-Daughter” episode comes out on a DVD along with 14 other specially selected Adventure Time episodes as well as an exclusive Card Wars playing card that will be usable in the Adventure Time: Card Wars--Doubles Tournament game, which will allow fans to play the exact game depicted in the “Daddy-Daughter episode.

Next at the San Diego Comic-Con (July 21-24) fans can get a preview of the new game as Cryptozoic will be hosting a Card Wars Doubles Tournament at the SDCC before the game is officially released.

Also in July, though no date has been specified yet, Cartoon Network Games will release Adventure Time: Card Wars—Card Wars Kingdom, a mobile game follow-up to 2014 mobile phone game Card Wars.  Card Wars Kingdom, which was developed by Kung Fu Factory, is the 13th Adventure Time mobile game and it will include PVP and tournament modes.  Penguin Books plans to publish an official Card Wars Kingdom guidebook later in the year.

Finally, as EW reports, on August 3 Cryptozoic will release the Adventure Time: Card Wars—Doubles Tournament game, which mirrors the team tournament experience depicted in the “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars” episode by adding 2x2 battle play.
