Five cards are randomly chosen from the player's deck instead of the player being able to choose five cards themselves.

When a card is placed touching two or more other cards with at least one of them being the opposite color and the touching sides of each card have the same value, then all cards involved are captured. Combo rule applies: if the captured cards are adjacent to another card whose rank is lower, it is captured as well. If the Card Battle rule is active, it adopts its Combo rule.

An extension of the Same rule. The edges of the board act as "A" ranks for the purposes of the Same rule.

Similar to the Same rule. When one card is placed touching two others and the ranks touching the cards plus the opposing rank equal the same sum, then both cards are captured. Combo rule applies: if the captured cards are adjacent to another card whose rank is lower, it is captured as well. If the Card Battle rule is active, it adopts its Combo rule.

One or more of the board slots are randomly marked with an element. When an elemental card is placed on a corresponding element, each rank goes up a point (+1). When any card is placed on a non-matching element, each rank goes down a point (-1). This does not affect other rules such as Same, Plus and Same Wall where the card's original ranks apply.

If the game ends in a Draw, a Sudden Death occurs in which a new game is started but the cards are distributed on the side of the color they were on at the end of the game.

Reverts the power structure: makes weak cards strong and strong cards weak. The sequence [123456789A] becomes [A987654321], i.e., "A" becomes "1", "9" becomes "2" and so on.

An "A" can be captured by a "1" despite being a higher rank. The rule doesn't make "A" vulnerable to other ranks though and "A" can still capture "1" as regular. Bonuses applied to the card do not affect the Fallen Ace rule where the card's original ranks apply.

An extension of the Elemental rule. When placing a card on an elemental slot, the card has a chance based on the card level to draw said element to itself and gain a +1 bonus. Lv 10 player cards have a 100% draw chance while Lv 1 monsters have 0%.

Exclusive to the Final Fantasy 9 theme. Cards are transformed to have a set of arrows pointing at any of eight directions. Placing a card with an arrow pointing to another card will capture it directly if the other card doesn't have an arrow pointing back, otherwise a card battle takes place. Combo rule applies: when a card is captured by either winning or losing the battle, any cards pointed at by the arrows of the defeated card are also captured regardless of rank. When Card Battle is active, Same and Plus will adopt this Combo rule as well.

Exclusive to the Final Fantasy 11 (PlayOnline) theme. One or more of the board slots are randomly marked with a glyph. Placing a card on it activates its effect:

• Offense Up: sword glyph, doubles the attack power of the card;

• Defense Up: shield glyph, doubles the defense power of the card;

• MAX Arrows!: eight-pointed star glyph, grants all eight arrows to the card.

All effects stack with other bonuses, e.g., stacking Power Up and Offense Up will have the final result of (rank + 1) × 2 when attacking another card.

Exclusive to the Final Fantasy 11 (PlayOnline) theme. They are purple blocks with a question mark, attacking them causes them to break and activate one of the following random effects:

• Power Up: all placed cards belonging to the color of the attacking card gets a +1 buff;

• Power Down: all placed cards belonging to the color of the attacking card gets a -1 debuff;

• Color Shift: all adjacent cards gets their color shifted at random;

• Scramble: all placed cards are moved randomly on the board to new positions.

Winner chooses one card per score difference.

Players claim the cards they have captured by the end of the game.

Winner takes all.

Exclusive to the Final Fantasy 9 theme. If all opponent's cards are captured then all cards are claimed by the winner (similar to the "All" rule), otherwise the winner chooses only one card from the loser's hand (similar to the "One" rule).
