Final Fantasy and card games go together like ... well, the other part of that simile depends on how much time you wasted trying to get rare items by playing Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minigames_of_Final_Fantasy#Triple_Triad). In any case, card games and Final Fantasies go way back.
The Japanese version of the Square Enix Members (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/03/19/square-enix-members-only-site-opens-for-pre-registration/) site now has two Final Fantasy IV (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/04/24/ffiv-announced-for-europe-screenshots-released/)-themed card games available for free play, requiring only that players sign up. Daifugo is a popular Japanese card game in which players put down sequentially stronger cards with the goal of emptying their hands. Pochika Sodatsusen is, according to Game|Life's Jean Snow, played "in a style similar to Old Maid, with a few new twists, like the ability to capture cards." It is associated with the new Whytkin character.
