Here’s an expanded concept of the game, blending a strategic, character-driven card game with tarot-inspired elements for a unique experience. This design creates layers where players can compete while drawing on the symbolic nature of their characters’ powers and personalities.

---

Game Concept and Goal

The game, tentatively titled EnXanting Realms, combines traditional turn-based card gameplay with tarot-like card reading mechanics. The objective is to use strategy, character synergy, and the environment to defeat the opponent, or, in a single-player mode, complete quests and challenges in a story-driven format.

The secondary goal is to use the cards as "readings" that provide insight or guidance based on the characters drawn, which can be interpreted for real-life situations, similar to tarot.

---

Game Structure

1. Players: 1v1 format for versus mode, or solo mode for story/quest-based campaigns.

2. Deck Size: Each deck consists of 12 cards—6 character cards and 6 ability/environment cards. Players select their characters and ability/environment cards before the game begins.

3. Turns: Players alternate turns, where each turn allows for drawing one card, placing a character, using an ability, or activating an environment effect.

4. Objective: Reduce the opponent’s health to zero or achieve set objectives depending on the mode (e.g., protect certain allies, survive rounds, etc.).

---

Card Types

1. Character Cards: Each represents a unique hero, like Ignis, Solara, Chanel, Verdara, and so on. These cards have:

Primary Ability: An innate power unique to the character, usable once per turn.

Ultimate Power: A stronger move activated once per game after meeting certain conditions (e.g., energy accumulation).

Environmental Synergy: A condition or bonus the character receives in certain environments (e.g., Solara gains strength in daylight).

Weakness: A counter that makes the character vulnerable to specific types of attacks or conditions.

2. Ability Cards: Special powers or attacks that can enhance or protect characters. Examples include Ignis's "Phoenix's Fury" or Chanel’s “Glitching Mirage.” These cards are played to aid or boost a character's power temporarily.

3. Environment Cards: Cards that alter the field. These might include “Sunlit Plains,” “Mystical Forest,” “Digital Cityscape,” or “Frozen Mountains.” Environment cards provide buffs or debuffs to characters depending on the setting and are critical for strategy.

---

Basic Rules

1. Setup: Each player starts with 12 cards, drawing a hand of 5 cards to begin.

2. Play Phases:

Draw Phase: Each player draws one card from their deck.

Action Phase: The player can either:

Place a Character: Summon a character card to the field.

Play an Ability: Use an ability card to enhance a character or perform an attack.

Activate an Environment: Change the field, which can alter the flow of battle.

End Phase: Resolve any ongoing effects and end the turn.

3. Victory Conditions: Reduce the opponent’s life points to zero or complete a special objective (e.g., survive a set number of turns, capture a specific character).

---

Tarot-Style Card Reading Mechanic

To incorporate a tarot reading element, each character card has deeper symbolic meanings, offering players a second way to interact with their deck:

1. Character Symbolism:

Ignis: Represents courage, passion, and the inner fire. In a reading, drawing Ignis might indicate a need for bold action or rekindling of purpose.

Lunara: Symbolizes healing, reflection, and tranquility. In a reading, Lunara might suggest a time to focus on recovery and emotional clarity.

Solara: Represents strength, resilience, and optimism. Solara’s card in a reading could encourage positive thinking and inner strength.

Frostine: Signifies clarity, control, and boundaries. Drawing Frostine may mean one should approach matters with cool-headedness and clear boundaries.

Chanel: Represents insight, adaptability, and stealth. Chanel’s presence in a reading might advise flexibility and thinking outside the box.

Verdara: Symbolizes growth, nurturing, and healing. A reading with Verdara may suggest focusing on self-care or growth in one’s environment.

2. How to Perform a Reading:

Single-Card Pull: Draw one card for guidance. The character's traits and powers represent the energy or approach the player might take in a real-life situation.

Three-Card Spread: Draw three cards to represent Past, Present, and Future. Each character’s traits provide insight into each timeframe or life phase.

Full Spread: Draw a hand of five cards and lay them out in a spread, with each position assigned a different aspect, such as Energy, Challenge, Guidance, Outcome, and Support. The unique powers and qualities of each character can then be interpreted for personal advice.

3. Using Environment and Ability Cards in Readings:

Environment cards could symbolize the setting or "feel" of a situation, influencing the way a reading unfolds.

Ability cards represent specific actions or influences, suggesting potential strategies or areas of focus (e.g., “Phoenix’s Fury” could imply the need to release pent-up energy or confront a challenge boldly).

---

Gameplay Examples and Reading Integration

1. Example Game Play:

On Turn 1, a player places Solara and activates her “Radiant Shield,” preparing for defense. The opposing player counters by placing Frostine in a “Frozen Mountains” environment, giving Frostine an edge due to the cold climate.

The players exchange turns, leveraging their characters’ powers and abilities until one player manages to reduce the other’s health to zero.

2. Example Reading Scenario:

A player asks for guidance on a challenging situation and pulls Verdara (Nurturing), Chanel (Insight), and Lunara (Healing) in a three-card spread. The reading suggests focusing on inner healing, finding unique perspectives, and being patient as things grow or evolve naturally.

---

Final Thoughts

The EnXanting Realms game blends strategy with symbolism, allowing players to compete in traditional card battles while also exploring a more introspective, interpretive layer inspired by tarot. Each character and ability card has a role in both combat and in personal reflection, making the game enjoyable for those seeking either dynamic gameplay or deeper insight into their character choices.

[eucalyptus-gl0bulus]

i dont think there is a worse pokemon card than blaine's moltres

(i'm restricting this to the pokemon card type)

[prokopetz]

I can't take credit for this one because Girl Genius: The Works actually uses it, but I think there should be more TCGs where keywording operates based on whether the word in question appears anywhere on the card, even in the rules or flavour text. I'd love to see a "serious" TGC take that idea and run with it.

[genericnam]

(Reblog because there's even more)

(Sorry for poor quality, I'm terrible at taking pictures)

Shoutiut to the Digimon TCG for having some of the best card art of any card game ever. I've got a baby small collection, but here's some of my favorites:

[thydungeongal]

I just wanted to thank you for introducing us all to the term "gleeblor"- I've been thinking about it a *lot* in the tcg design space. I'm not sure if those are games you play/have played or care particularly about, but I think the tcg world has its own version of gleeblor centered tightly around mtg. There seems to be an appreciable community of people who like designing TCG type games, usually just for playing with their friends more than like trying to create The Next Hit or what have you. I'd even sort of scribbled some of my own ideas at various points over the years.

Then, over the past few months, with magic really crossing too many lines for me and also being so expensive, I at a whim decided to watch a pokemon regional stream and I was hooked straightaway. I'd always know about the game and collected the cards as a kid, but having been a magic player for so long just sort of wrote any other game off as being necessarily less interesting. But I was very wrong- turns out pokemon has a lot of really interesting ideas floating around these days! The metagame is super wide right now and all sorts of playstyles are viable and the course of play is pretty different to magic (not just in terms of mechanics but in just how it flows I guess). Since then I've played a lot of pokemon and also been looking up about other games, both extant and extinct, and been having my sense of gleeblor expanded. And its a lot of fun!

So, I know this isn't generally the focus of your blog but I want to thank you anyway, for gleeblor

Oh hell yeah! I don't know a lot about the TGC space although I have played a bit of Magic, but if you have found the term gleeblor useful in thinking about TGCs then that rules! And genuinely, just having a funny little concept I made up being useful and interesting to people fills my heart with joy :)

Genius Invocation TGC released a card of... you!

Monstatd Liyue Inazuma Sumeru Other

Characters: Cyno, Dehya, Nilou, Collei, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Kaveh, Nahida, Jeht

Genre: Fluff, crack!, maybe a tiny sprinkle of angst for some characters

Warnings: None... well it talks about your card being defeated....

Summary: Genius Invocation TCG has taken all of Teyvat by storm! People from all over have decks of cards; ask almost anyone and they'll be down to play a round. You earned great renown from being a famous adventurer… or maybe you're a travelling merchant, or a bard from Monstadt. Maybe you're a scholar from Sumeru, a Knight of Favonius, a Tenryou Commissioner or even a member of the Liyue Qixing. Whatever you do, you garnered the attention of the creators of Genius Invocation! How do your favourite genshin characters react to a new card, of none other than you, being released?

Notes: WOWIE okay so this might be one of my more ambitious projects! I'm going to make a series that will hopefully include every playable character and even some beloved NPCs! I'll keep them as short headcannons because there's a lot of characters to go through, and I'll do my best to make them non-repetitive.

•Cyno would show off your card to everyone, proud to have it in his deck. He would always play it, it would be his trump card. His entire deck is based around your card

•He would actually get jealous if he saw someone else using your card.

•Often uses his own card alongside yours… what? the combos are an instant win!

•Definitely owns more than one of your card both regular and shiny. One for playing and one for his collection.

•Blatantly tells people they don’t know how to use your card properly, or gives them advice on how to play better if they lose with you.

•Dehya is impressed you got your own card. She is happy for you and will tell everyone that it’s the best card.

•She uses your card often and will rub it in the face of everyone she beats. “See! This is the strongest card out there!”

•Jokes about keeping you in her pocket… literally. Carries it in a different pocket than the rest of her best because it’s not just a card it’s like a little part of you with her.

•Gets annoyed whenever people knock out your card. She’ll tell them they’ll regret it and then pays them back tenfold. If she loses your card it won’t be in vain.

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Nilou never really played cards, but seeing that there was one based off you? Well now she HAS to try it.

•Would join the theatre's game nights and be super excited to try your card!

•I feel like she would get pretty competitive with it, she would try so hard to keep your card alive. She even sacrifices her other cards to save you.

•If she loses she won’t get discouraged. She’ll practice more so she can win next time, she doesn’t want to let you your card down!

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Collei would be sooooo excited to see a card of you! She thinks it’s so cool and is happy that you both have cards!

•Would be very hyped to play a round using your card but if she loses…

•She would be so sad if your card got knocked out. Would apologize to you and would be too scared to use your card again.

•If she did use your card again she would always sacrifice her card first. (Please give her a hug and tell her it’s just a game and that she could never let you down.)

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Tighnari would be intrigued about your card. He would be curious to see what the card’s abilities are, though he still thinks yours are cooler in real life.

•He wouldn’t use your card all the time, only when a situation requires it. He’d be careful and tactful using it, but it always pays off.

•He never loses when he uses your card. Some might think your card is overpowered or his lucky charm, but he just knows how to maximize its strengths.

•Would be a bit jokingly peeved that you got a care before him.

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Alhaitham wouldn’t react much on the surface, much like anything else, but he would understand the significance this holds for you. After all, of all the people in Teyvat there aren’t that many cards.

•Would feel a small amount of pride for you, and he would play your card the next time he begrudgingly accepts to play cards with the boys.

•He’s annoyingly objective about the strengths and weaknesses of your card. But when he knocks out all of his opponents in only a few rounds… well, you’re just glad he’s using your card well.

•If anyone calls favouritism for him using your card so often he just shrugs it off, saying your card simply synergizes the best with other cards, allowing for many different combinations to win in any scenario.

•Definitely gets jealous annoyed when he sees others using your card because only he can use your card he claims others don’t know how to properly use it.

•Bonus: Kaveh would ask you to confiscate your card from Alhaitham's deck so he stops losing to him on game nights LMAO

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Kaveh would be SO hyped about your card and would make sure EVERYONE else knows that.

•He would win 1 (one) round with your card and claim it’s the best card ever and it’s his lucky card and he’ll win every game with it

•Then he goes on a 5 game losing streak.

•He would be bummed about it and would probably ask you to bless it or imbue it with good luck or something.

•Would actually do some looking into your card’s abilities and what other cards go best with it just so he can prove to you show others that it IS a good card and he can win with it!!!

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Nahida would thinks it’s so cute that they made a little card of you and that it makes you so happy!

•Because of her curiosity and because she accidentally saw into your mind and knows that it would make you happy she would try out the game.

•Goes without saying that she would win… but she would probably get really into Genius Invocation after that.

•Starts building a deck and challenges people whenever she has free time.

»»————-　♡　-————««

•Jeht would love to have a card of you! She always keeps it with her and whenever she plays against random travellers or merchants that she encounter she uses your card. It’s like having you with her 🥺

•If she won with your card she would be so happy and would jump around but if she lost…

•At first she would feel like you betrayed her.. but then she takes it out on her opponent. I love her but she’s a bit of a sore loser.

•Probably just looks at the card when she’s lonely and she misses you. She talks to the card and tells stories of her journey as if she were talking to you, and promises she’ll tell you in person one day. I love her so much her story is so sad she deserves so much better please let me hug you and be with you always omg

hiii where can i get me some hermitcraft tgc cards. need me some grian. but fr though they look quite interesting and i’d be intrigued to know more about them

uuuuhhhh CREO produces them you can find more info on their official site! I don't think they're selling the hc tcg cards atm unforch but theres a discord and a possibility they might do a comeback like with season 1 *shrug*

[merakiui]

I kinda like to imagine cyno is secretly some covert pervert in secret...when he falls for his darling he lowkey stalks them and follows them around to their home...peeks on them as they shower or change, watches them sleep...maybe even...does things to them as they sleep

Also imagine he befriends darling and they end up playing tgc one night...but with a twist...loser has to shed off one piece of clothing per round played (cynos practically half naked as it is so hes fine) but hes very pleased with himself that darling is stripped down into nothing but underwear...

Omg strip tcg with Cyno.... wwowooooooooooooo orz orz you can never beat him because he is genuinely so good at the game and he has put so much time into it, building up the most powerful deck and improving his strategies until he's practically impossible to defeat. When you agreed to play him, you were essentially subjecting yourself to the Dark Souls boss of tcg lol. Cyno hasn't even had to strip anything yet (not that there's much to strip, but even so his winning streak is alarming. He's too good or maybe you're just not good enough.)

And the fact that he's in a position of power, too!!!!!!! You can't refuse the General Mahamatra, even if it's uncomfortable to be nearly nude and sitting across from him. And you certainly aren't going to want to cross him. As relaxed as he appears one on one with you, you know very well that when it comes to administering justice he is ruthless. You'd prefer not to get on his frightening bad side, so even if keeping your relations with him peaceful means you have to sit on his lap or let him treat you to a meal or some drinks you'll do just that. Cyno won't hold his position over your head. He knows that you know he's got a cushy, well-paying, influential job, so less whining and more stripping. After all, what the winner says goes and the loser has no choice but to listen. You did agree to the twist when you first started playing, after all. :)

And if alcohol does play a factor in strip tcg, then you are most definitely finding yourself in his bed after the both of you have tired of playing cards, submitting to the lustful, intoxicated tension that has blanketed the air ever since you removed your first article of clothing.

hi i am. so sorry

i think i misspelled it in my request but i meant to put "tgc fan" not "tcg fan" 💔💔 its absolutely okay if u dont wanna change it since ur requests r closed and im so sorry for that mistake but thank u so much for making them both

omg im so sorry anon LMAO i probably read it wrong since i dont know what TGC is and only know what TCG is,,.,..,... but yes you can have the fixed one since i dont mind making just one esp if its fixing a mistake <3

[mejcinta]

what did they ask tcg?? :( im too scared to watch the video bcos of second hand cringe from the questions honestly

There was some chick who stood up to VENT about Aegon usurping Rhaenyra. Even more embarrassing was the fact that she kept stumbling over her words. She was visibly UPSET and almost choking with tears lmao.

Imagine being such a loser that you can't separate fiction from reality. TGC handled that with a straight face but I know he was deadass laughing internally at how delusional fans can be. I bet he was happy when that was all over. Brave guy.
