If an RPG doesn't have a card game in it, do I even want to play?

Can you name the game this game-within-a-game is from?

In the world of gaming, there is a delightful phenomenon known as a game-within-a-game. These are mini-games or side-quests that players can access while immersed in a main campaign. One notable example is Final Fantasy 8's Triple Triad card game. This engaging card game is not only a fun diversion from the main storyline but also a time-sucking distraction that can easily consume an entire weekend.

Another example is Gwent, the card game featured in The Witcher 3, which is so captivating that it kept the reporter from completing the entire game. These game-within-a-game diversions have become a staple in many RPGs, adding an extra layer of entertainment and challenge for players.
