The queen's blood board in FINAL FANTASY 7: REBIRTH.
Square Enix

When you reach Costa Del Sol in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you will quickly realize that Cloud and the crew aren't exactly dressed for a relaxing vacation at the beach. All that leather and black certainly won't be comfortable -- and don't get us started on how much sand is going to get in those boots. Before you can even set foot on the sand to relax by the water, Cloud will need to earn some tickets to get more appropriate beachwear. The only way to earn these tickets is to participate in some team minigames, including the Card Carnival on the docks. This is a twist on the Queen's Blood card game you may have been playing throughout your adventure up until now (or perhaps you've been completely ignoring it). Either way, this game is not your typical match, with specific challenges that are more like puzzles than proper games. They can be rather tricky, so we'll help you play your cards right to beat the initial set of Card Carnival trials and earn that swimsuit.

Card Carnival solutions

You initially only need to complete three challenges in the Card Carnival, but more will be available if you really want to test your problem-solving abilities. We will focus on just the ones required to complete this challenge.

Three-Card Stud

The first challenge is called Three-Card Stud and gives you -- you guessed it -- three cards to place with the objective of beating your opponent's score. Here is what order to place the cards and where:

Step 1: Place the Fleetwing on the bottom-right tile.

Step 2: Place the Zu card on the top-left tile.

Step 3: Place the Quatzle in the center tile.

You should win with a score of 5-4.

Go for Choco-Broke

Next up, we have a Chocobo-themed challenge. Order is very important in this one, so pay close attention.

Step 1: Put the Fat Chocobo on the bottom-left.

Step 2: Place the Posh Chocobo on the bottom-right.

Step 3: Finally, the Chocobo and Moogle go between them in the bottom center.

You will win with a score of 17-16.

Mischief-Making Moogles

The final challenge is the most complex. You start with three cards, but gain two more when you play the Moogle Trio, so you need to plan ahead here. Or, just follow our steps.

Step 1: Start by playing the Moogle Trio on the far left in the middle row. You will draw the Moogle Mage and Moogle Bard cards.

Step 2: Play the Fleetwing in the center space.

Step 3: Put the Moogle Mage in the bottom-center space.

Step 4: Now place the Moogle Bard in the top-left space.

Step 5: Finally, end with the Grasslands Wolf in the bottom-left.

You will win with a score of 11-6.

Ghost Recon could finally be making the comeback fans have been asking for

If you're a Ghost Recon fan, you've probably gotten used to one thing over the past few years: waiting for rumors to turn into announcements, waiting for leaks to be acknowledged, waiting for Ubisoft to say... well, anything at all about the future of one of its biggest tactical shooter franchises. Thankfully, that silence finally seems to be ending.

Ubisoft has confirmed that it will share Ghost Recon news on August 6, when the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. The announcement arrived shortly after fresh leaks began circulating online, prompting the company to post a brief message telling fans that more information is just around the corner.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out
Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.
