CC Group
The CC Group is a group of seven elite card players in Balamb
Garden. If you can beat them all, you can get your hands on some
good cards. This becomes available in Disc 2 after Fisherman's
Horizon. To start challenging the CC Group, you must first build
up your reputation in Balamb Garden as a card player. To do so you
may have to win about 15 games around Garden. The CC Group members
must be challenged from the lowest ranking up to the highest.

Queen of Cards
The Queen of Cards is a female who's good at cards. She also
haves good rare cards. The Queen of Cards is located in the town
of Balamb, near the train station. In order to win the rare
cards she has, you must lose/win a rare card (level 8 or above)
to/from her. Once then, you can speak to her again to get a hint
of her next destination, which can be at eight places: Balamb,
Shumi Village, Dollet, Deling City, Winhill, Esthar, Fisherman's
Horizon and Lunar Gate. Her first destination is Dollet. Speak with her normally [not a card game
challenge] and choose the fourth option: "About your artist father". When you choose this option she requests a card from you. The first card requested will be MiniMog. Lose MiniMog to her in a game. This enables her artist father to create a new< card that you can win elsewhere. When you give the queen the card
she requested, she moves to a different region. You must chase her around the world until she
goes back to Dollet and you can repeat the process. This must be done five times to get all the cards.
The rare cards you lose to her can be won back from her son in Dollet.
