So I had absolutely zero intention of trying in this Tetra Master tournament. My experience at the game so far was I-hope-it's-similar-to-Triple-Triad... I may have attempted one game very early on but that's it. An embarrassing first-round exit would be acceptable in my eyes...

HOWEVER. I experienced some unexpected success!

Round 1: No idea how I managed a win here. My tactic was 'put my cards nowhere near theirs' which seemed to work. As my opponent went first, I got to put the last card down and sneaked a 6-4 win!

Round 2: I assumed I'd just got lucky in round 1 so went straight into the next one expecting to get my lily-white butt spanked. Not the case! I actually steamrollered this guy and managed to win the match 9-1 and I have no idea how!

Final: Now I'd gotten this far I really wanted to win the thing so I saved beforehand. I'm glad I did because I got my arse handed to me five times in a row by Regent Cid. By sheer dumb luck I scraped a 5-5 draw sixth time round, then managed to edge him 6-4 in the replay. I was rewarded with a Rebirth Ring so I hope it was worth it.

In summary, I have no idea how to play Tetra Master and I hope never to have to play it again.
