| '''Cardiators''' is a luck-based Duel [[minigame]] that appears in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. Its name is a portmanteau of "card" and "gladiators." | |
|
| |
|
| ==Introduction==
| | Both characters will now face in an [[RPG]] battle. Both characters have the same amount of [[HP]](20). There will be a few cards (faced down) on a table and the character that had the highest number when they picked cards, gets to go to the table first and get one of the cards. The card he or she picked will have a character (such as [[Penguin]] or [[Thwomp]]) and a number, and the character on the card will attack the opponent taking away HP. The number of HP taken will be on the card. The best card that one can get is worth 12 points, while the worst is worth 1 point of damage. |

| 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==
| | Then after the first character is done attacking, the opponent will then go to the cards, grab one and attack the opponent. This will go on, until one of the characters runs out of HP and looses. |
| 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 [[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>

| The camera zooms in on the winning player, who stands behind the table of cards and does their victory pose as the losing player remains sitting on the ground behind them, still dazed from the last attack. The camera then makes a continuous 360° turn around the table.
