Tetra Master


Like Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad, FF IX's Tetra Master involves two players taking turns placing cards onto a grid and trying to capture the other player's cards. This time, however, the grid is 4x4 (instead of 3x3), with anywhere from 0 to 7 spaces being randomly covered before the game begins.

Every card can have up to eight arrows pointing in different directions; note that the arrows are not dependent on the picture on the card -- in other words, it's possible to have one Flan card with two arrows and another Flan card with three arrows pointing in completely different directions. These arrows determine what happens when one card is placed next to an enemy card.

The rules in Tetra Master remain consistent no matter where you play; unlike Triple Triad, there are no varying gameplay or trading rules.
