A Deeper look into the Card Game
Here are the rules of the card game in FFVIII. The players take turns
placing cards on a 3 x 3 grid. When two cards are placed next to each other, you compare
the values of the touching sides -- for example, if card A was to the left of card B, then
you would compare the number on the right for card A, and the number on the left for card
B. Whichever player has the card with the highest number then takes control of both cards,
and play continues. Normally, you can only take control of one card per turn. However, you
can take more if the sums of each are all 10 (say a 5 vs 5 on one side, and a 7 vs 3 on
the other) , or if the values are all ties (such as 6 vs 6 on one side or 2 vs 2 on the
other). Play continuesuntil all nine squares on the board have been filled, at which point
the player with the most cards wins. With hundreds of different cards to collect, Card
Battle should keep players occupied for quite a while.
