Your best way to learn how to play and win Queen's Blood is to practice. We must assume that you have already tried yourself in the game but struggling to understand it. Nevertheless, you will get better with each practice match, and here is everything you can use to increase your chances.

• Deck Building: Regularly review your deck, replacing weaker cards with better options you've unlocked. Use the six-deck slots to adapt to different opponents and challenges.
• Mulligan Phase: Before each match, carefully analyze your initial hand and discard unwanted cards to increase the chance of drawing better ones for your strategy. For instance, you would want to get rid of any three-pawn rank card.
• Early Aggression: Cards like Mandragora and Security Officer can secure positions and expand your territory, limiting your opponent's options.
• Tactical Placement: Be cautious of opening positions near your opponent's, as they may quickly capture them with low-cost cards.
• Beware of Buffs and Debuffs: Cards can weaken or destroy others, so consider potential countermeasures when building your deck.
• Develop a Playstyle: Choose a strategy that suits your preference, like buffing your own cards or exploiting enemy buffs.
• Replacement Cards: Later, you'll acquire cards that can replace existing ones on the board, offering flexibility and potentially strengthening your position.
• Explore New Cards: Check vending machines and NPC vendors in new areas for booster packs, expanding your card collection.
• Use Score Bonuses: Sometimes, winning a single lane is key. Use score bonus cards like Chocobo Jockey to gain an edge.

Throughout the game, you will encounter various NPCs who will challenge you to Queen's Blood matches. Winning these matches often rewards you with specific cards. For example, defeating the three players in Kalm grants you the Screamer, Cactuar, and Crystalline Crab cards.

More cards can be purchased at Thorin's Card Shop, while you will find other vendors throughout Final Fantasy VII Rebirth regions.
