Nothing new here... But, I would recommend to at least pay a visit to Caraway for Rinoa's card [which is quite a powerful card for its double As on the left and right..] Now head for the mansion and note that you can access to the sewers from the statue... Now talk to Caraway and he will give you three options.

Ask about the Sorceress
Ask about Esthar
Ask about Cards

They typically gives you inquiries... one is very important, that's about Rinoa's card! Caraway will only uses his daughter's card if you lost the Ifrit's card to him. So you need to play a "lost" game to him. Select the Ifrit's Card [you will be able to do this as you have accumulated long hours at Balamb..] and a couple of lousy cards, hopefully the card rule, get everything is not available... That's another reason, why I want to get at least 3 cards for each card type. Lost the game, even it is one card exchange, he will definitely pick the Ifrit card. Now he will tell you, he appreciate that and he will tell you that he will use his daughter's card to challenge you. Just focus on the lower ends or the higher ends of Rinoa's card. [don't straight away put down your powerful cards, use the lousiest on the board first..] After gotten the card, talk to Caraway again and he will tell you that he has lost to a fellow officer, Martine [this guy is tough for he owns Level 7 Cards..] Just pilot Balamb Garden back to FH and defeat him in a card game. Focus on the lower ends of Ifrit's card, where its weakest point are..] That's the end of the Deling's card quest. Now head to Dollet.

Area Rules [not quite confirmed...]
Balamb Area
Additions: Open
Cities: Balamb Garden, Balamb Town.

Galbadia Area
Additions: Sudden Death and Plus, add Balamb Rules
Cities: Deling City, Timber Town, Winhill

Dollet Area
Additions: Plus and Same, add Balamb Rules

FH Area
Additions: Elemental Rule and Sudden Death, add Balamb Rules

Trabia Area (!!!)
Cities: Trabia Garden, Shumi Village
Additions: Random, Plus/Same, Sudden Death and add Balamb Rules

How to remove those add-ons?
Just simply play 8 games for the area that you wished to play in. I am not sure about this, but it works for me. As you see Trabia is indeed a dangerous card playing region. FH and Balamb Area are the best choice..Seek the chance to improve your cards tactics with Plus and Same as they kills if you make use of them. The worst is on here yet... There are areas with a long series of rules…

Alternate way in getting Weapon Mon May [after Disc 1]
Head back to the sewers. Go left after you descends down from the ladder, and go all the way up until you can't proceed further, then go to the right all the way, then all the way down. Then go right. You should be back to the first place, but on the other side. To get the Weapon Mon May there, open the gate to the left (forgot which one) then go right to get it.
