About the game

What is Genshin Tarot?

"Step inside weary Traveler, you look like you're in need of a break. Why don't you join me for a quick game?" Genshin Tarot is a 60 to 90 minute solo or co-op deck upgrading board game with simultaneous player turns for 1 to 4 players. Each player creates a party of 4 Genshin Characters, dealt randomly from a pool of 22 playable characters (with 14 more added with the first expansion.) Each character brings several cards unique to them to your deck, forming a totally distinct deck for each player. Each round is split into player and enemy phase. Play happens simultaneously during the player phase, where each player will use the cards in their hands to take down the waves of enemies in front of them or offer help to allies. On the enemy phase, surviving monsters will attack players, and enemy ranks will be replenished. Once any one player defeats all of the enemies in front of them, they trigger the arrival of the boss. The players win if the boss is defeated, but lose if any player ever hits 0 HP. Will you and your friends take command of your own fate? Or falter in the face of Teyvat's challenges. Currently has 1 Expansion: The Swords Minor Arcana Expansion, which adds 14 more playable characters. Future expansions contain 44 more playable characters, 4 more bosses, a revamped ley line system, dendro reactions, and more. Follow on twitter to see the latest updates!
