About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive into the magical realm of Lorcana, where Disney meets an exciting new collectible card game (TCG)! In Disney Lorcana, you're not just a player, but an Illumineer, a powerful sorcerer with the ability to bring iconic Disney characters to life. Imagine heroes and villains you know and love, but with original and reimagined visuals, ready to battle alongside you in an entirely new world, born from the fusion of 'lore' and 'arcana'.
Your quest is to assemble a team of characters from Lorcana's vast 'The Great Illuminary' – a true treasure trove of all Disney songs and stories ever created. With deck construction mechanics, clever hand management, and multi-use cards, every decision matters. You'll need to plan your moves, use your resources efficiently, and sometimes even 'take that' with direct attacks on your opponents. While the official player count isn't printed on the box, the creators suggest that the fun can be shared by 2 to 6 Illumineers. It's an invitation to explore a universe rich in fantasy and strategy, all with the timeless magic of Disney.
