Lorcana was introduced to the TCG scene in 2023. Since then it has accumulated a wide variety of players, some of which put their decks to the test every Friday at GameForce. In your turn you ready your exerted cards by turning them upright. Then you check for effect that happen at the start of your turn after which Location cards gain their Lore value. Lastly you draw a card from the top of your deck. After this you are ready to head on to the Main Phase. In the Main Phase you can choose to put a card in your inkwell once per turn, and you can play cards, use items, locations and/or character’s abilities and move a character to a location. You can also challenge opposing characters and/or quest to gain lore. At the end of your turn you check for effects that trigger at the end of your turn, and then your opponent takes their turn!
What does your deck look like?
A Lorcana Deck requires at least 60 cards, there is no upper limit as long as you can reasonably shuffle your deck. You can only have 4 copies of any single card. However, you can have more than four cards of the same name as long as they are not the same version. You can only have cards from up to two different ink colors. You can use just one ink color if you wish to do so.
What makes Lorcana unique?
In Lorcana, alongside with playing your cards of course, some cards can be used as a resource to play your cards. The Disney TCG uses a “shift” and “song” mechanic that lets you play certain card for less ink. You and your opponent both try to get to 20 Lore (points) first instead of whittling down your opponent to 0.Most notably however, is the unique never seen before art of beloved Disney Characters on the cards and products.
