Card-Jitsu Snow is a spin-off of Card-Jitsu and similar to Card-Jitsu Fire and Card-Jitsu Water. The game was confirmed by Spike Hike in a tweet, where he provided an image to an area entitled "CJ Snow". He also states that it will be released in 2013.[1][2] In Card-Jitsu Snow, Power Cards are the only cards that the player is able to use [3]. The Beta Testing for the game started on February 28, 2013. On June 5th 2013, Spike Hike announced on a blog post that Card-Jitsu Snow was coming to the My Penguin app. [4]
Before the game starts, the player must choose an element to represent (Fire, Water or Snow) and wait for 2 players to fill the remaining spaces.
The game is set on a snow field atop a mountain, divided in a grid of 5X9 titles (much like a chessboard). The players are placed on the left side of the board, while the villains are placed on the right side of the board. If a title is colored blue, the player can move to it. The players must advance through the field, trying to get as close as possible to the villains to attack and eliminate them. The player can also use Power Cards (obtained after a number of moves) to cause more damage to the enemies. If a player's life bar drops to 0, he/she won't be able to move/attack until it recovers some energy or if another player helps them. If the villains' bar drops to 0, it will disappear. If all the villains are eliminated, the players advance to the next round. On the Beta version, there are 3 rounds and a bonus round, which is unlocked if the players win the 3rd round. If a player were to win the bonus round, they'd also win a Snow Beta Hat.

A narrow bonus round victory, as the water ninja had quit in Round 2.
