Card Structure
What are the defining properties of a Tetra Master Card?



Card Values



Card values determine the overall strength and defense of the card when placed in battle (engaging these values against the attacking/defending card). Values are listed in the following order: Attack Power, Attack Type, Defense, Magic Defense.

Arrows



Arrows determine scoring as well as how a card can engage a battle. Two cards next to each other with arrows on opposite site, touching each other and pointing to each other will engage a battle. At this point, the values on the card will determine the strength and success of winning a battle.

Card Photo

Battle Card Values
What range of values do the individual numbers mean when my card is engaged in a battle?

Minimum to highest number values which represent 0-F on Tetra Master cards range differently. The individual numbers themselves are not static card values.

Not all Tetra Master cards have the same value. Although you can collect more than one of the same card, its values and arrow placements can vary.

Tetra Master is a card capture and battle style card game, in which cards are placed on a 4x4 cell game board. Each card competes for ownership of its neighboring card by arrows pointing in a direction to a neighboring card that has none adjacent. Should a card be placed where any arrow of a neighboring card is pointing directly at an arrow facing the opposite direction, a battle ensuses where attack values of the card determine ownership. Different point values and various battle tactics occur during a battle.

Ownerships can change, even with previously captured cards, based on sequential arrow directions and placement. Some boards have cells that are blocked off, disallowing cards to be placed there. In the end, the player with the most ownerships and successful battles wins.

Cards can be acquired typically by defeating enemies, buying them, finding them in towns and dungeons, and battling townspeople in a game of Tetra Master throughout the entire world. Unlike Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad card game, there are no rule variants, therefore values of all cards remain static until played.

Acquring points in Tetra Master isn't a simple as defeating an opponent card. Different points are awarded to how cards are used and their arrows are arranged. The more arrows your card has pointing to neighboring cards battled with higher values, the more points you'll score.
