Template:Minigame-infobox Cardiators is a Duel minigame that appears in the game Mario Party 8. Its name is a portmanteau of "card" and "gladiators". The Wii Remote is held sideways for this minigame.
Introduction
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 face-down numbered cards appear, each with a number from one to three. Both players select a card, and the player with the highest number goes first.
Both players now compete in an RPG-style card battle, with 20 Health Points each. A set of numbered cards from 1 to 12 is displayed facedown on a nearby table. Each player has ten seconds to pick a card; if they do not make a selection, the card their cursor highlights is automatically picked for them. Each player takes turns picking a numbered card, which will also have a character on it. The character is summoned to attack the opponent and deal damage equal to its value; the Penguin does the least damage, while the Chain Chomp does the most. The first player to reduce their opponent's HP to 0 wins.
