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

In Queen’s Blood, the objective is to amass points by controlling rows on the board. You start with five cards, with each card having a point value and pictogram indicating which tiles on the board it can affect. Each card’s points contribute to the total for each row. Controlling a row means those points go towards your final score. Ultimately, the player with the highest total score wins the game.

As you place cards on the board, you expand the area where you can play more cards and increase your capabilities to play cards of higher value. Cards come with a cost represented by pawns. You’ll need at least one pawn on a tile to place a card there. When you place a card, it can add pawns to adjacent tiles, enabling you to play additional or higher-cost cards in those new spaces.

Some cards can buff or debuff other cards on the board, affecting their point values or removing them from the game. It all depends on where you position it, which is where the strategy comes in. For example, one card might affect the tiles directly to its right and below it, while another could influence tiles in all cardinal directions.
