Both players now compete in an [[RPG]]-style card battle. Both players have the same amount of [[Heart Point|HP]] (20). A set of cards is displayed facedown on a nearby table.

Template:Minigame-infobox Cardiators is a Duel minigame that appears in the game Mario Party 8. Its name is a pun on "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
In the middle of the stadium appear three face down cards, each with a number from one to three. Both players choose a card, each of which has a number. The player with the highest number goes first.
Both players now compete in an RPG-style card battle. Both players have the same amount of HP (20). A set of cards is displayed facedown on a nearby table. Each player has ten seconds to pick a card before whatever card he or she happens to be standing in front of is automatically picked for him or her. The card the player picks has a character (such as a Penguin or a Thwomp) and a number. The character on the card then comes charging in and attacks the opponent, taking away HP. The amount of HP taken corresponds to the number on the card. The best card that one can get is worth 12 points, while the worst is worth 1 point of damage. After the first player is done attacking, the opposing player then goes to the cards, grabs one, and attacks his or her opponent.
This process goes on until one of the players runs out of HP and loses the game.
