You're good! I still have got no clue how to play this card game.

I generally used a suposedly weak card to start, then a bunch of what I assumed were stronger cards, and always finished with the Theater Ship card. Worked most of the time, lol

is good to have good cards with many arrows... i think the first number before the letter means the attack and the other numbers after the letter are the defence. The P and the M means phisical power and magical power...The X and A means power cards and advance cards...the A cards are the best and most of the time you get them by wining with the same cards...normally they change from type X to type A....

You need to understand how the card game works, and the in-game explanations are not very informative. Here is a very good guide on Steam :

And there is this great and in-depth guide on Wiki :
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Tetra_Master_%28minigame%29

I win most of the time. My strategy is to use one low level card with arrows all over, for bait. Then I have 3 better cards, - and lastly a nice high level trumph, to claim everything back in my last move .
And if I loose, I simply go to title, then press "Continue" - starting from entering the area.
I also save whenever my cards go up in level, and when I get a card I really want.

When there are nice high level cards to find, like "Lindblum" ( great card for defence) - it is wise to go to title and load "continue", if the card does not have the arrows you want.
Every time you load, you start the area anew, and the card has different stats and arrow-pattern.
Same with cards you win at Treno fighting - load and start the fight again, and the card you want, will eventually be yours.

For now, about half way into the game, I use one card for column 1 or 2 -, and then I use "Tonberry" "Zemzelett"( those are both great as trumph - for defence and/or attack), "Lindblum" - and as bait together with the low level card; one "Frog" or "Mythril Sword" card .

There is a rumour that npc`s are reluctant to play their nice cards, if you hold back yours, - so I usually play "Lindblum" early, leaving it in a corner to defend itself. It does a great job, now levelled up to 0A6A :goodie:

This is a bit random , but not very much - there are rules for how random, and this card game is actually both complex and clever , and lots of fun when you figure it out :woodlehappy:

Got the achieve just after returning to Alexandria post-Iifa Tree. Which is a great time to pick up the holy-moly-OP Nova Dragon from Hippaul's racing minigame if you want to keep playing. Definitely worth it to quit and continue until you get the arrows you want on that.

I didn't know about the trick of restarting the game if you didn't get the arrows you want on the card, my Nova Dragon has only one arrow, on up direction. LOL
