Cards are used in the Ninjago Spinners game. They are designed with characters, weapons, events, and elements that players can use in a game with an advantage in battle.
There are eighty-seven 2011 cards, consisting of seventeen Character Cards, seven special edition Cards, and sixty-five Battle Cards. These can be found in Spinner sets and other specified sets. There are two main types of cards: Character Cards and Battle-Cards.
There are currently one hundred and twenty-eight 2012 cards. There are twenty-five Character Cards, three special edition cards, and one hundred Battle Cards.
There is a total of 215 overall cards, consisting of forty-two Character Cards, ten special edition cards, and one hundred and sixty-five Battle Cards.
The cards were discontinued after 2012. However, spinners were reintroduced in 2017 with a different style, but not as part of a game.
Type of cards[]
- Character Card - This card represents your character in the game. It shows who you are, how much SP (Spinjitzu Power) you have in each element, as well as your Golden Weapon.
- Battle Card - This type of card is a card that you can use to give your teammate an advantage over your opponent(s).
Battle Cards can be split into the following subsections:
Build Cards[]
These cards let you build parts on the spinner, such as bricks, weapons, shields, and blades. Once a player wins, the parts are removed.
Confuse Cards[]
These cards hinder an opponent, such as making their character unbalanced or negating one of their card effects. The effect ends when a player wins.
Force Cards[]
These cards are often used during the battle. They can take effect on the card user and/or the opponent.
Control Cards[]
These cards change the outcome of an end of a battle. Some control cards prevent the user from losing a weapon.
Trap Cards[]
These metal cards are laid down or stood up with bricks on the battlefield. Most trap cards make an opponent lose if they touch this card, but some can make an opponent discard their cards.
Golden Cards[]
These metal cards can only be played if the character is holding a golden weapon during battle. Some Golden Cards have identical effects to non-Golden Cards, but the Golden versions require less SP.
Power Cards[]
These cards require a certain amount of all SP power in all four elements (for example one card could require 100 SP of each element while another requires 200 SP of each element). These cards have a green serpentine border.
Boost Cards[]
These cards add SP to the character's elemental powers until a player wins. Another card must be played right after a boost card is played.
Scroll Cards[]
These cards forces both players to participate in a challenge, usually involving careful aim of a spinner. If the player of the card wins the challenge, they can reclaim one of their lost weapons.
Crown Cards[]
Similar to Golden Cards, Crown Cards are powerful, but burdened with a restriction; they can only be played if the player's spinner has a crown on it. These cards are kept face-up and can be used throughout the whole game (with the exception of Double Stars); but if the crown is removed, all face-up crown cards are discarded.
