    As much as I adore and have endlessly played FNV, I never got the hang of Caravan.

      All you need to do is get 2 of the 3 piles to be a higher number than the other guy’s and you win. It’s actually not that fun once you actually know the rules and it becomes brain-dead easy against the NPCs. Gwent is a little better. But Tetra Master is the GOAT.

      It’s basically blackjack, but 21-26, and must be higher than your opponent’s “caravan.” Kings double values, jacks remove cards, and queens and jokers are less relevant.

      Plus, you have to only increase or decrease unless special conditions are met, like having the same suit or a queen.

      It’s actually really easy to get the hang of and make a ton of caps before you hit New Vegas, even without a Luck build.

      it clicked pretty quickly when i finally went and looked it up online, and played a bit with a standalone browser version i found. the in game explanation just isn’t very good.
