Imagine Elsa and Mickey Mouse fighting side by side against Captain Hook—not in a movie, but on your gaming table. Welcome to the world of Disney Lorcana , the collectible card game from Ravensburger that combines Disney magic and strategic gameplay on lovingly designed cards.
What is Disney Lorcana ?
Disney Lorcana is a trading card game (TCG) similar to Pokémon or Magic: The Gathering. With one small difference: Your favorite Disney characters take center stage! Developed by Ravensburger, it's the first time Disney has launched its own large-scale collectible card game.
What is the game about?
In the game, you're an Illuminateer —a kind of wizard with a very, very large fountain pen. Your task? Using magical ink, you summon Disney characters, collect Legend Points , and try to outwit your opponent—but with style, please.
Whether it's Simba, Aladdin , or Ariel in her glittery form , you decide who plays the main role in your deck. Each character has special abilities, stats, and illustrations that invite you to dream.
How does the game work?
Don't worry: You don't have to dig out an Atlantis rulebook. The basic principle is simple:
- You play cards by spending ink (a type of mana).
- Your characters collect legend points or challenge others to a duel.
- Whoever collects a certain amount of points first wins!
Sounds simple? It is—but with enough depth to keep it from getting boring.
Who is Lorcana intended for?
Honestly: For everyone who loves Disney . Whether you grew up with The Lion King or just can't resist Robin Hood, Mickey Mouse, or Stitch – Lorcana is for you. And: It's perfect for newcomers to the TCG hobby. You don't need any prior knowledge, just a love of the game and a healthy dose of collecting passion.
