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.

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]
