This card game, man.
It's a complete stomp if you have the best cards against most people and if special rules are enabled to allow weaker cards to beat stronger cards, then all of the onus is still on the person with the shittier deck to outplay you in a significant fashion
I was playing Triple Triad in FF14 and beating NPC's who spam 9/9/9/9 bullshit cards is an uphill battle.
