There is a side quest in Chapter 2 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth called A Rare Card Lost, one of the five side quests available for players to tackle. This quest is centered around Queen's Blood, a card-based mini-game similar to Triple Triad from Final Fantasy 8 and Tetra Master from Final Fantasy 9.
Players can initiate A Rare Card Lost by talking to the bartender in Kalm after unlocking fast travel in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The objective of the quest is to retrieve a rare Queen's Blood card that the bartender lost to another townspeople. However, recovering the card proves to be more challenging than expected.

Players must first visit the bulletin board in Kalm to trigger the quest A Rare Card Lost. Once accepted, they should head to the Rusty Arrow and speak with Vash. Vash will inform them that he lost a rare card to a worker at the nearby clocktower. Before confronting Virgil, players must defeat Vash in a game of Queen's Blood to prove their worthiness, which should not be difficult for experienced players.

Players must first defeat Vash before facing Virgil, who can be located to the right of the clock tower. Virgil proves to be more challenging than the bartender. If players struggle against Virgil, they can purchase card packs from the item vendor in Kalm or defeat other Queen's Blood players in town to enhance their deck. Unfortunately, even after defeating Virgil, players will not obtain the card as Virgil admits to selling it to a card collector northeast of Kalm.

Luckily, Thorin's shop is conveniently located near the Air-Raid Shelter, making it easy for players to reach by fast traveling and riding their Chocobo towards the quest marker. Thorin proves to be a more skilled opponent compared to the previous Queen's Blood players, but with the right strategy, players can defeat him without much difficulty. Alternatively, players can purchase some powerful cards from Thorin's shop to gain an advantage, although these cards come at a cost.

However, due to his recent string of bad luck, Thorin suggests that Cloud and the party hold onto the prized possession for a while.
