This is a complete list of all cards in the game, and, more importantly,
where to get them.  This list is great when you're at the end of the game,
trying to find the last few cards.

The purpose of this list is not to teach you how to play the card game.  It
is to help you find every card in the game.  If you want help playing the
card game, please go to another FAQ.  I'm not trying to blow you off.  I just
think that the other FAQs out there have a perfectly good explanation of how
to play the game.

This list is all about my "perfect game" project - getting 254/255 items
(excludes Tin Armor) and 100 cards.  Since you're in a rush to get to
Excalibur II, you simply don't have time to pick up everything along the way.
Every card except one (Namingway) can be received after getting Excalibur II,
when the time pressure is off.

Only one card must be received before Disk 4: Namingway.  You can get this on
Disk 3 before you go to Terra.


There are 4 main ways to get cards:
- "Buy it": Some cards can actually be bought from someone.
- "Win it": You get these cards by playing with someone and winning the card.
- "Acquired": This card is dropped by enemies sometimes.
- "Get it": It's in one of the Chocobo treasures.


Exceptions Legend
** You can't get this card at the very end of the game, so get it earlier.
## There's only a finite number of these cards, so don't lose them. 


If you know of an "infinite" method to get a card on Disk 4, or a way to get
Namingway on Disk 4, email me.

Please don't tell me about playing against Gilgamesh (the four-armed man in
Daguerreo) - he disappears as soon as you have an S rating so I don't count
him.  For me, that happened to be the first time I talked to him.  I get 4-5
emails a week telling me about it, so I've made this notice more clear.


Look for a similar list for items soon.

Credits
-------
- Aaron Tadeo, for his excellent walkthrough/FAQ on GameFAQs.  This list
  tries to mimic his card list, except with every card's location.  His list
  told me where to get the majority of the rare cards.  Not to mention how
  helpful his walkthrough was for the rest of the game.

- PlayOnline (Square) for their ridiculous enemy list.

- Erik Strawn, for telling me about where to get Carrion Worm on Disk 4, and
  an infinite number of Ozma cards.  He also says that the Fat Chocobo will
  use Fat Chocobo against you sometimes, but after 50 games with him,
  I haven't seen it yet. :(  (I confirmed Carrion Worm and Ozma, however.)
  He also told me an alternate (and much easier) way to get Wraith.

- "Novabird", for telling me that you can get a bunch of cards more easily
  in Black Mage Village.
