Gameplay[]
Genius Invocation TCG is a game where the player faces opponents with a deck of cards.
A deck is made up of Character Cards and Action Cards. Use Character Cards to attack and defeat the opponent's Character Cards. Once they have all been defeated, victory is achieved.
Players can invite characters and NPCs to play against in this activity, though not all of it, as some characters and NPCs don't like it and they prefer the Caravan instead. Winning at TCG duels rewards the Traveler with caps. Winning is dependent on the Traveler's Luck and Gambling skills
Rules[]
- Both sides will draw 5 cards, which will form their Hand. After that, both sides will get 1 chance to switch out any number of cards in their Hand. Both sides get to choose 1 of their own Character Cards to be their active character.
- After a Genius Invocation TCG duel starts, each Round will proceed as follows:
- Roll Phase: Both sides will get 8 Dice to roll.
- Action Phase: Both sides take turns to act until both declare that their Round is over.
- End Phase: Both sides draw 2 cards.
- Use your Character Cards to attack and defeat your opponent's Character Cards. Once you have defeated them all, victory shall be yours,
