How to unlock Queen’s Blood in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Queen’s Blood basic rules explained in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
In Queen’s Blood, each player takes turns placing a card from their hand on the board in one of three horizontal lanes. The board starts with three pawns placed on the first tiles of each row for you and your opponent (green for you, red for your opponent). These are the starting tiles you can place monsters on.
A game of Queen’s Blood ends when you and your opponent take turns one after the other. To win, you must have a higher total score than your opponent. Scores are tallied by adding up the value of each card in that particular lane, as shown by the numbers at the bottom of the board. The problem is that only the highest number in that lane will count toward your point total. For example, if your opponent rolls a 3 in the top lane and you roll a 4, your score will override your opponent’s and you will start with a total of 4 points while your opponent has 0, and vice versa.
You will eventually unlock new mechanics as you progress through the game. You can mulligan your cards at the beginning of a game, exchanging as many as you want from your starting hand for new ones. If you have a bunch of high-ranking cards that you can’t play right away, this is definitely something to take advantage of.

Queen’s Blood card types in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth explained
Each Queen’s Blood card contains two numbers at the top. In the left corner you have Rank and Power in the right corner. Rank is represented by the number of pawns, so if a card has two pawns, then its rank is 2. When you start a game, you only have tokens on the board for one pawn, which means you can’t summon a pawn yet. rank 2 monster. .
The power value in the right corner indicates how many points you will gain in the row if you are successfully summoned. So if your card has the number 3 in the right corner, you will earn 3 points in that row.
Cards can also have special abilities. If so, there will be a star icon at the bottom left. These special abilities have a wide range of effects. Some have enhancement abilities, which increase the power value of allied cards in the surrounding circles, and some can add new monsters to your hand when you summon them.

There are also debuffing abilities, where some cards can lower the power value of others when summoned to the board. When a card’s value reaches 0, it is destroyed and the board token becomes neutral.
And finally there are the replacement capabilities. This is where an existing card on the board must be destroyed in order to summon the new monster. Some of the unique aspects of replacement cards are that they do not require a token on the board with a specific range to play and they can activate cards whose abilities only activate when they are destroyed.
Queen Blood Matches in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Explained
Okay, so how do you actually play Queen’s Blood? The main objective is to extend your influence and cover as much of the board as possible, restricting your opponent’s movement. Each card takes up a certain amount of space, which you can see in the image of the card. The white tile in the image is where the card is summoned, while the surrounding yellow tiles establish where your next pawns will be.
Overlaying yellow tiles will increase the rank of your pawns, allowing you to summon monsters with higher power values and giving you a better chance of dominating that row. Another thing worth mentioning is that if your pieces overlap your opponent’s, you can claim his position on the board as your own and summon your own monster on the next turn. The same goes for your opponent as well.
For example, placing a Capparwire monster in the mid lane at the start of the game will immediately increase the ranks of top and bottom pawns and allow you to summon a monster on the next space.

Once neither player can play any more cards, the match ends and scores are tallied. In many cases, beating your opponent grants you new cards. You can also buy cards in the main cities you visit throughout the game.
You can see who you can challenge to a game of Queen’s Blood by seeing who has the golden number icon above their heads. The higher the number, the tougher the opponent. You also have a rank, and the higher your rank, the more opponents you can challenge.
And that’s how to play Queen’s Blood!
