The above gameplay video was released on November 9, 2022. It is an excellent demonstration of what to expect from the Genius Invokation TCG.

After talking to an NPC and agreeing to duel with them, players will see a brief loading screen similar to the following image.

On the loading screen, players will see three cards on their side and three on their opponent's side. The left side shows players' character cards, while the right side shows who the opponent will be using.

Once players have moved past the loading screen, they will see their opening hand. Players will be able to swap out up to two cards. The video above shows the player swapping out one card, while the opponent replaced two of their own.

Each opening hand has five cards. Once that's done, players can select one of their three character cards to be active.

After selecting an active character, Genshin Impact players must roll several dice. Genius Invokation TCG has some uniquely-shaped dice, but the important part is that players can choose to reroll some of them.

In the leaked video, the player replaces everything but the Pyro and Electro dice. They then roll some more dice afterward.

The results of players' dice throws will be shown on the right side. Using the above image as an example, readers can see that the player has:

  • Two Omni
  • Two Pyro
  • Two Electro
  • One Cryo
  • One Geo

Omni can be used as a substitute for any element. The elements players roll are instrumental to the general gameplay of their active character.

A player's hand has several cards that they can play to create various effects.

The goal is to defeat all three active characters through several turns of rolling dice and playing with your hands.

A character's HP can be seen on the top-left corner of their respective character card. Attacking will fill the diamonds on the right side of the character, which can eventually be used for their Elemental Burst.
