GToons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is gToons. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
gToons was an online collectible card game available at Cartoon Orbit, Cartoon Network's web network. The game was launched in October 14, 2002. Cartoon Network has over 250,000 gToons users after the first month. It closed along with Cartoon Orbit on October 16, 2006, although it has been stated that it might return "as a stand-alone game sometime in the future with new sets of game pieces to collect".[citation needed]
Players assembled 12-card decks to compete with, and games lasted only a few minutes. Cards represented characters, places, and things from Cartoon Network shows like Ed, Edd, and Eddy and The Powerpuff Girls. Each card had a color and a value, and may also have a special effect that modifies the values of other cards. Two colors (determined by the "bottom" card of each player's deck) are goal colors: if one player can play more cards in each color, he or she wins automatically. If not, then the higher total value wins.
