Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Card Carnival puzzle solutions

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Card Carnival puzzles feature in the Queen's Blood minigame at the Costa del Sol, where you're chasing down a Companion Card for Cloud and need to complete a sequence of challenges in order to unlock it. While your previous experiences of Queen's Blood have involved taking down another player, with the Shinra-8 tournament featured in the previous chapter of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth no doubt still fresh in your memory, this puzzle works little differently. Instead of trying to outwit an opponent, you'll need to play your cards strategically in the correct order to secure the victory.

If you continue to progress through the challenges then you'll unlock a set of new cards for your deck, including the Tonberry King after beating the devious round in which that card features. If you're struggling to figure out the perfect play, then refer to the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Card Carnival puzzle solutions below to beat every challenge faced in the Costa del Sol Queen's Blood event.

Where are the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Card Carnival puzzles?

When you reach the Costa del Sol in Chapter 6, you'll need to complete various minigames around the island to unlock Companion Cards, which are used to purchase Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth beachwear outfits so you can progress with the storyline. For one of these, Cloud will team up with Regina to play Card Carnival in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is basically a single-player puzzle version of Queen's Blood. Your opponent's cards are already laid out, so you need to play all of your own cards tactically against them in order to secure enough points for a victory.
