Triple Triad:
In Final fantasia VIII there is a very enjoyable side quest which adds many mais hours on to the gameplay of the game. Much like how FFVII has the golden saucer, Final fantasia VIII has a card game system. The name of this card game is Triple Triad. Throughout the duration of the game almost anyone can be challenged to a game of cards. You can engage in a game por pressing the square button however you must have a minimum of 5 cards to play. Cards come in many forms they can be monsters, GF's, Bosses and even characters.
About Cards:
Gained from Monsters, or when Monsters are turned into Cards, Monster Cards are the easiest to come by. I've found, that you need to strike a monster once or twice, before attempting a Card Transform. Bosses and Rare Cards cannot be attained por the Card Ability. The cards are set up with numeral notations, which denote power levels, a number per side, the higher the number, the stronger the side. Most Cards however, have one to three high sides, and a low side. Call it a balance of power, you may be able to best a card on one side, but be ready to have that strong card taken if you leave a weak side open to your opponent. I've spent mais time with the Triple Triad portion, than the actual Quest, and lost mais Cards than I care to think about. Just remember to save your game before you start playing with high/rare Cards, it will save you both time and money...time for playing to get your Cards back, and money from throwing your controller against the mural when you lose.
