Card-Jitsu Snow

Card-Jitsu Snow is a new game in Club Penguin, the fourth addition to the Card-Jitsu Series, and a spin-off of Card-Jitsu. Penguins have been waiting for this game for a long time, since the arrival of Card-Jitsu Water. The game could be beta tested. The testing began on February 28, 2013 and ended on April 11, 2013. In the game, you must take on three Snowmen enemies: Scrap, Tank, and Sly.

Official Release
It was released at the Card-Jitsu Party 2013 starting May 23, 2013. It could be played before that, however, on a beta server, from February 28 - April 11, 2013. It will probably be the final Card-Jitsu game, unless the rumors about Card-Jitsu Shadow are indeed true.

Gameplay
The game is played on a tiled grid on a snow-covered mountain. It is very similar to that of checkers or chess. The ninja players are placed on the left side of the grid, while the snowmen are placed on the opposite right side of the grid. Each player and snowman has a health bar. The bottom of the screen shows you the Power Cards in your deck. Every time a part of the grid turns blue, your penguin has the option to move to a different spot on the grid. Once you have found a spot, click the check mark at the top. As you move close up to the snowmen, you can use your powers on them by clicking on them. When a part of the grid turns red, you have the option to use a Power Card power-up against one of the snowmen, which temporarily stuns them, and causes them to lose health. Players can also lose health, which causes them to be stuck in the snow. You can revive other players to join the fight again.

Once a snowman has lost all of its health, it will fall and disappear, as it has been defeated by a player. Once all the snowmen on the grid have lost their health and been defeated, the round will end. There are three rounds of the game, and you have to beat all three of them in order to win the match. The game will end when all players have been defeated by the snowmen or have exited the game.

At the end of the game, your penguin will be awarded with stamps, coins, and occasionally a reward to complete your Snow Ninja suit. Once you have received the full suit by winning many matches (there is a progress bar at the end of the game), you will have the opportunity to face Sensei for the Snow Gem. By winning against him, you will add the gem to your Amulet and be considered a full Snow Ninja.

Completion of Game
The Club Penguin Team confirmed that Sensei will have to be battled to obtain the Snow Gem. This is also proven by the games files. It is unknown where his pillow will appear, as it is absent in the sneak peaks. This may be because the Snow Dojo is in its construction phase in the sneak peaks.

Villains
Unlike the other games in the Card-Jitsu Series, you fight villains in Card-Jitsu Snow, instead of fighting against other Ninjas. Instead, you fight alongside the other Card-Jitsu Snow Ninjas against three evil Snowmen enemies. They have a bone to pick with the ninja, but it is unknown why they are fighting. More will probably be revealed once the beta testing ends and the official version of the game comes out. They seem to have a connection to Sensei's past, one of which being Sensei's arch nemesis. The villains are:


 * Sly
 * Tank
 * Scrap
 * Tusk

Video
Just like Card-Jitsu Fire and Card-Jitsu Water, Card-Jitsu Snow has a trailer for itself. It is different from the trailers for the other Card-Jitsu spin-off games. Instead of a unknown announcer, Sensei speaks to the viewer, using the same voice and voice actor present in Never Wake a Sleeping Sensei, keeping continuity for the character. This was also the first official time we see Sensei in the penguin design first incorporated in 2013 Club Penguin artwork. The trailer is also in more of a television advertisement style, unlike the previous trailers.
