'''Cardiators''' is a Duel [[minigame]] that appears in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. Its name is a portmanteau of "card" and "gladiators."
'''Cardiators''' is a Duel [[minigame]] that appears in the game ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. Its name is a portmanteau of "card" and "gladiators". The [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] is held sideways for this minigame.

The two players enter a gladiator-like stadium from gated entranceways opposite of each other. Both players face each other in the middle of the stadium, and the game begins.

==Gameplay==
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.
In the middle of the stadium appear three face down cards, each with a number from one to three. Both players choose a card, each of which has a number. The player with the highest number goes first.


The players compete in an [[Genre#Role-playing games|RPG]]-style card battle, with 20 [[Heart Point|Health Point]]s 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.<ref>{{cite|author=Noops|date=August 7, 2022|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9K9x1Q0zyE|title=THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU TIE IN CARDIATORS (Mario Party 8)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 22, 2023}}</ref>
Both players now compete in an [[RPG]]-style card battle. Both players have the same amount of [[Heart Point|Health Point]]s (20). A set of cards is displayed facedown on a nearby table. Each player has ten seconds to pick a card before whatever card he or she happens to be standing in front of is automatically picked for them. The card the player picks has a character (such as a [[Penguin]] or a [[Thwomp]]) and a number. The character on the card then comes charging in and attacks the opponent, taking away HP. The amount of HP taken corresponds to the number on the card. The best card that one can get is worth is the "12" (which has the [[Chain Chomp]]), while the worst is the "1" (which is the [[Penguin]]) and "2" (which is the [[Ukiki]]). After the first player is done attacking, the opposing player then goes to the cards, grabs one, and attacks their opponent.
 
This process goes on until one of the players runs out of HP and loses the game.
