Just last week Cartoon Network Digital and D3Publisher announced the release of Adventure Time Card Wars for the iOS, with the reveal that a real, physical card game was on the way from Cryptozoic Entertainment. Now we have word from Cryptozoic that the game is out in stores today! That was quick. They sent over these images of the box art from the two different card packs you can pick up, as well as a look at the card art.
As with the iOS title, Card Wars plays much the same as it did in the fourth season episode of the same name, where the winner is declared a Cool Guy and the loser has to drink from the Dweep cup. It's a two player game that allows players to customize their own decks and bring them to battle against each other. Each Collector Pack will come with two pre-made decks for two players, each one focused on a different Adventure Time character. The real fun begins when you start to mix and match cards from different decks to create you own.
Each Collector Pack will run you $20, although they're on sale direct from the publisher. The two packs available right now are as follows:
Finn’s Blue Plains deck features Creatures from the episodes such as the wise Ancient Scholar, the aptly named Cool Dog, and the most fearsome critter of all… The Pig! And many more.

Jake’s Corn deck features Creatures from the episodes such as the powerful Husker Knights, the intimidating Legion of Earlings, the heroic Archer Dan and many more!
BMO’s Useless Swamp deck features Creatures from the episodes such as the triple-threat Immortal Maize Walker, the talkative Mouthball, the underpants-wearing Wandering Bald Man and many more.
-vs-
Lady Rainicorn’s SandyLands deck features fun-tastic Creatures such as the coarse Sand Knights, the toothy Shark, the musical The Mariachi and many more!

Don't forget that each pack will also contain download codes that can be used with the iOS version, offering new items for anyone who picks up both. Could more card packs be on the way in the future? If these are successful I wouldn't doubt it! Check out Cryptozoic's site for more details.
