GAME SYSTEM

This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages.

Disney Lorcana is a trading card game (TCG) that features Disney characters in both original and reimagined art styles that live in an all-new world with unique and magical gameplay.

The game is set in the rich and fantastical world of Lorcana, a combination of the words "lore" and "arcana". Players will take on the mantle of Illumineer, a powerful sorcerer, and band together Disney characters from Lorcana's "The Great Illuminary", a treasury of all Disney songs and stories ever made.

Disney Lorcana doesn't have an official player count on the packaging, but the designers have suggested 2-6 is an appropriate range.

  • App Assisted — An assistant app helps track lore; physical tokens/dials count damage and lore
  • Card types and interactions — Cards come in characters, items, actions, and songs with distinct interactions around ink, cost, and combat
  • Character combat (attack/defense) and exertion — Characters have attack and defense values; exerted (exhausted) characters can be attacked; combat resolves with health tracking

  • Deck-building restrictions — Decks must be at least 60 cards; you may have one or two ink colors; a maximum of four copies of any exact card

  • hidden victory points — Lore is the win condition; the first to reach 20 lore wins
  • Ink resource system — Cards have an inkable ring; you turn inkable cards to ink to pay costs; ink is spent to play cards

  • Items and persistent effects — Items stay out for the rest of the game and provide lasting bonuses unless removed
  • Lore as victory condition — Lore is the win condition; the first to reach 20 lore wins
  • Quests and lore generation — Quests grant lore when activated; attacking and defending interactions determine outcomes
