Genius Invokation TCG (Chinese: 七圣召唤; pinyin: Qī Shèng Zhào Huàn) is a trading card game in Genshin Impact, released in version 3.3 titled "All Senses Clear, All Existence Void" on December 7, 2022.[1][2][3] based on the Genshin Universe by using similar existing lore, elements, quests, and characters.

Story

Genius Invokation TCG takes place in a popular card game set in a fictional world of Teyvat. The game was developed by the scholars in Sumeru. In order to promote the game, scholars commissionned the traveling merchant named Liben, to bring the prototype of the card game to Yae Publishing House in Inazuma, and commissioned by the novelist Fukumoto, to create the light novel called This novel is Amazing for publicity[4]

Gameplay

The game uses turn-based battles. Players need to build a deck with a combination of 3 character cards and 30 action cards, and win by knocking down all the opponent's character cards. Each round need to throw 8 Elemental dice to turn action phase, which can be used to switch character cards and action cards.[5][6][7] The gameplay has also been added to the game. The elemental reaction can provide additional damage, limit the actions of opponent characters and other effects. Unlike in the main game, elemental reactions are included as a mechanic of the gamemode.[8] Players in Genshin Impact will get a prop to mark the player characters on the map that can be played against, or invite players to fight in Mondstadt's Cat's Tail tavern. Defeating opponents can get certain rewards, which can be used to unlock new cards.[9] After the player's card level reaches 4, they can invite and play against other players via co-op mode.[10]

Development

MiHoYo's positioning of the gameplay is a "light and casual" player versus environment mode, and there will be no rewards for PvP. All cards can be obtained during the normal gameplay, and there is no charge to draw cards.[11] The game was introduced in November 2021. and it was not officially launched until version 3.3. Genius Invokation TCG is also the first release PvP of the game.[4]
