Grand Card Match

Grand Card Match is a card minigame in Lawler-RPG - The Side Stories, introduced in late Chapter 10. It is not an essential part of the game but provides light relief to the storyline and allows the player to interact with a mysterious individual, only known as the Card Master, who likes to show up at random in some chapters, asking you to have a card battle for sport. It is a mix of the long-running Pokémon Trading Card game and Final Fantasy IX's Tetra Master minigame, as such, the player will not be rewarded with normal items, other than recieving the Card Master's cards upon winning.
==Rules==
Grand Crad Match is played between two players on a 8-by-8 square grids of black and white spaces, and plays similar to Chess, with each player having eight cards on its hands at the start, but first, a coin-flip will be tossed to decide who begins. If the player wins first, it will choose one of the cards to place on it while the Card Master will choose the last. The cards displays various characters, locations and items with their own unique attributes. Each card contains 4 different types: Sword, Shield, Staff and Item, and they have their own weakness, Sword being strong against Staff, who is strong against Shield, who is strong against Sword, Item does not have one and it works as a support for the card.
Like Chess, the player can move a card in a direction once, with the Card Master following suit, and once reached, the player can select what move the card will do, attack, or defend, and that's where the Value Points come in. Value Points works like stats, which they have in the form of HP, Attack and Defense, that reaches its limit of 200 vp. Whoever has the highest Value Points will defeat the opposing card.
The player who defeated all the opposing cards is declared the winner, and will take them in its possession, but the Card Master will take your defeated card as a result. A game win is declared "perfect" if either the player or Card Master succeeds in defeating all of them without losing one. Both players finishing with both defeated cards will result in a draw, which triggers a rematch, but that is not a necessity.
The maximum number of displayed wins is 999, and when reached that number, the counter freezes.
==Ranks==
The minigame has 10 ranks: Noobie, Beginner, Senior, Fan, Competitor, Veteran, Pro, Champion, King and Master. The player will start with the Noobie rank, and in order to reach the nexxt one, you have to win a number of matches, for example, beat 10 matches to reach the Beginner rank, 20 matches for the Senior rank, 30 matches for the Fan rank and so forth.
==Card list==
There are a total of 400 cards to collect, some obtained by beating Card Master numerous times, hidden in various chapters, and dropped from enemies, like Relics. They also be bought in Chizuru's R&D, though these are cards that you already owned, or used to owned if you lost them.
