Fans of Disney’s animated series Phineas and Ferb will soon be able to bring the spirit of summer adventure into their game nights. Maestro Media has announced Phineas and Ferb: Summer Showdown, a fast-paced card game inspired by the show. The title is scheduled for release on February 2, 2026, with pre-orders already available.
The game will debut publicly at SPIEL ESSEN, one of the world’s largest board game fairs, where attendees can preview and purchase copies. With its emphasis on lighthearted competition and family appeal, Summer Showdown represents the second Disney-inspired tabletop project from Maestro Media.
This move underscores a growing trend: major entertainment franchises are increasingly exploring tabletop adaptations that appeal to both casual fans and dedicated players. Maestro Media also announced the upcoming Kickstarter launch for the The Disney Afternoon Collection, the first release for its new REWIND tabletop gaming system.
How Phineas and Ferb: Summer Showdown Works
In Summer Showdown, players select their favorite characters from the series and compete across three rounds to earn the highest score. Each round is shaped by an event card that alters the play environment. Rounds move quickly, consisting of four steps: select, place face-down, reveal, and resolve.
Each character comes with a unique ability that can be used once per game, introducing an element of unpredictability. The design keeps matches short but engaging, encouraging multiple plays in a single session.
The simple mechanics are designed to be accessible, while still giving players opportunities to strategize around timing and abilities. This approach positions the game as both family-friendly and replayable.

The Spirit of Summer Adventure
The adaptation aims to capture what made Phineas and Ferb popular: a sense of boundless imagination and fun. According to Maestro Media, the focus was on making a game that could be enjoyed across generations.
“We’re thrilled to launch our second Disney inspired game with the debut of Phineas and Ferb: Summer Showdown,” says Javon Frazier, CEO & Founder, Maestro Media. “This franchise has always been about adventure, fun, and family and that’s exactly what this game delivers. From clever character abilities to fast-paced rounds full of surprises, it captures the spirit of summer fun and endless replayability. We can’t wait for fans of all ages to dive in and create their own unforgettable adventures.”
Rather than overcomplicating play, Summer Showdown highlights the charm of its characters, encouraging fans to revisit the world of the series in an interactive way. The show’s central themes of creativity and togetherness are echoed in the gameplay loop, where cooperation and competition blend seamlessly.
With its release timed to follow SPIEL ESSEN, the game is positioned to generate international buzz before rolling out to a wider audience. A limited number of games will be available for play/purchase at the board game fair on October 23-26, 2025, Booth #3A.200.
