The majority of character cards in my deck were very simple, with one or two exceptions. As damage is carried over turns, players will need to think carefully about who to send questing and who to challenge. Like Magic: The Gathering’s combat or the Pokémon TCG’s battles, challenging sees the two cards involved having their strength and health compared, with damage being exchanged based on the difference between the two. However, questing with a character card leaves them vulnerable to being challenged, which is when a player pits one of their cards against one of their opponent’s. While character cards can’t be used the turn they’re played – because their ink is still wet – they can be sent on a quest when the player’s next turn rolls around. Players can also use any ink they’ve put into their inkwell immediately, rather than having to wait until their next turn. While players can only do this once per turn, it means that they will not need to wait to draw specific cards in order to get their other cards out onto the table. Rather, every single card in the game can be turned into exactly one use of ink if it’s placed in their inkwell – a separate space for players to put cards facedown. Players will need to spend the in-game resource of ink to play cards, but unlike Magic: The Gathering’s mana and energy in the Pokémon TCG, players will not need to worry about needing to use specific types of ink in Lorcana. Image: Prototype shown, subject to change. My opponent's deck was based on the Simba/Sleeping Beauty starter set. Players can collect lore in a variety of ways, with the main one being to send their active character cards questing - which will see them obtaining a certain amount of lore, depending on the specific card. Though the time we spent with Disney Lorcana was not nearly enough for a full review, it was enough to give us a baseline of the game’s potential.ĭisney Lorcana sees at least two players competing against one another to be the first to gather 20 lore. While it was a given that Disney Lorcana would have an advantage thanks to inclusion of the likes of characters and references such as Mickey Mouse, Sleeping Beauty, Frozen, Moana and more, whether the game would be any good was yet to be seen. We were able to play Disney Lorcana for the very first time via a demo with co-designer Ryan Miller at last weekend’s UK Games Expo 2023.ĭisney Lorcana is a trading card game that has the potential to challenge even TCG titans such as Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon, largely due to the fact that it has the backing of one of the largest corporations in the world.
