Genshin Impact TCG Genius Invokation Becomes Real Game

The Genshin Impact in game TCG, Genius Invokation, is about to become something you can play in real life. You’ll be able to unleash your inner Cyno from November 8, 2024, which is when pre-orders open for cards and decks. [Thanks, heiankyo_327!]

This is a collaborative effort between HoYoVerse and ShiningSoul. ShiningSoul is a Shanghai-based company specializing in hobby merchandise. It previously released cards based off series like Fate/stay night and Identity V. Each deck will have three character cards, thirty action cards, and seven equipment cards. There will be eight variations to purchase, and this is only the first collection. So if the character card you want isn’t available, it might appear in the future. As a note, you can play Genius Invokation with these cards if you want to. They’re also collector’s items.

In Genshin Impact, Genius Invokation is a TCG minigame in which you play a card game against your friends, NPCs, or playable characters. Each player has three character cards, and you win after you defeat all three of your opponent’s characters. You can also support your characters with action cards and such to heal them or improve their attack power. The Genius Invokation in-game uses elemental dice to determine the attacks you can use. However, it doesn’t seem like the ShiningSoul decks come with dice.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
