Card-Jitsu Party 2013

The Card-Jitsu Party 2013 (also known as the Celebration of Snow) is a current party in Club Penguin, which began on May 23, 2013, and will go on until June 6, 2013. It was revealed at the Club Penguin Summit. It is the second Card-Jitsu Party, after the Card-Jitsu Party 2011 and a break in 2012. It is also the first Card-Jitsu event to be held in May, rather than November.

Card-Jitsu Snow, as well as the Snow Dojo, were officially launched at this party. Sensei is waddling around the island. The Dojo and Dojo Courtyard were renovated, and the Ninja Hideout was removed.

Storyline
A snowstorm began in the Dojo areas on May 9, 2013. Sensei left on a journey to find the truth behind the storm, and he only left a written note behind:

''The elements are out of balance. It is time for me to face the truth behind the storm. The Fire and Water Dojos are open to all. I need every one of you to prepare. Soon, you will understand. One single snowflake may be quiet. But many become a powerful force.''

Later, on May 16, 2013, Sensei returns, but no penguin can rest yet. Sensei has a dream of a dark presence from his past and says:

''I had a worrying dream... a dark presence, in the shadows of the past. When I awoke, the mountain shook, and the avalanche covered the Dojo. Luckily no ninjas were training at the time. There has been a shift. The elemental forces are out of balance. I am calling on all ninjas-past, present, and those yet to join us-to prepare for battle. It is time, ninjas. Together, from May 23, we must master the power of Snow.''

Ninjas then started rumors about three masked snowmen minions in the mountains with that want to defeat Sensei and destroy the Dojo. As the snowmen make their way to the Dojo, Sensei says that they must master snow to defeat the snowmen and restore balance to the elements. The Dojo is renovated, to keep elemental balance, and the bridge to the Snow Dojo is complete. There, ninjas begin to do battle with the most unexpected of enemies: Tusk, a walrus who used to be Sensei's best friend, but has since become overwhelmed with jealousy and turned evil, and the snow minions, who's power is unlike anything the ninjas have faced before.

Party Rooms

 * Ninja Headquarters - The room is mostly the same design as 2011, but with the addition of a snow section.

The entrances to the elemental dojos are on each wall: Fire Dojo on the left, Water Dojo in the center, and Snow Dojo on the right.

Trivia

 * It was confirmed that it would be replacing the Medieval Party in May, which disappoints many penguins. Although it has been confirmed by Polo Field that it will occur in November.
 * If you look closely at the sneak peaks, you can see what looks like a scroll. This could mean that a Scavenger Hunt will be going on during the party, or it could possibly be a catalog.
 * It was confirmed in the Club Penguin Magazine, and on the What's New Blog, that Card-Jitsu Fire and Water will be opened permanently to all players. This is the second time that Card-Jitsu Fire and Card-Jitsu Water are opened to non-members. The first time was in the Card-Jitsu Party 2011.
 * Card-Jitsu Snow will also be open to everybody, as confirmed on the What's New Blog by Polo Field.
 * This is the first Card-Jitsu event to take place in the month of May.
 * Scrap, Sly, and Tank are not be the commanders of the evil snowmen army, because in the trailer video, Sensei saw something roaring on the top of the mountain: Tusk, Sensei's longtime nemesis (aka Supreme Master).
 * There were four special party emotes: a tea kettle, a fortune cookie, and chopsticks, and a soup bowl, by pressing E+C.
