We’re rapidly approaching seven full seasons of Adventure Time, and to celebrate Cartoon Network plans to use the (supposedly) final episode of season seven as a launchpad for a new multimedia venture centered around fan-favorite episode-turned-masterful tabletop and electronic card game Card Wars. As the Land of Ooo’s stand-in for ultra-complex fantasy card games a la Yugioh and Magic: The Gathering, Card Wars took on a life of its own as a multimedia extension of the show, but neither Finn nor Jake have dared floop the pig or summon the Immortal Maize Walker since season four. But come July 7, Jake will team up with his daughter Charlie to win a Card Wars competition in an all-new episode aptly titled “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars.”

Once Jake and Charlie have closed out season seven by reminding the card game-playing word that cornfields are indeed awesome, the new multimedia venture will expand across the following touch points through the summer, per a press release:

July 7: “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars” Episode Debuts: Enjoy a follow-up to Finn and Jake’s epic card game of 2012 with an all-new episode where Jake needs his daughter Charlie’s help to win a top-tier Card Wars doubles tournament against a longtime rival.

July 8: “Daddy-Daughter Card Wars” will be available for viewing on digital platforms including the Cartoon Network video app, iTunes, Google Play and Amazon.
