This expansion introduces a cooperative experience (playable solo or as a duo) where the sea witch is controlled by an automated deck, creating a scaling challenge that demands real strategy. The box comes with two pre-constructed decks, one featuring the legendary sorcerer Yen Sid and the other the brave Mulan, ready for action right out of the box. The best part is the coordination: since players act simultaneously, you'll need to sync your abilities and effects to ruin the villain's plans before she seizes control of Lorcana. Ursula's gold-backed deck is relentless, featuring 'natural disasters' and entangled glimmers that make every game a fight for survival. Furthermore, the difficulty system is quite flexible. You can choose to face Ursula on different battlegrounds, each with unique cards that offer specific bonuses and challenges. Starting with the easier levels is a great way to learn the ropes, but if you're looking for a real trial by fire, the advanced scenarios will put your deck-building skills to the test. It's a fantastic choice for those who want to enjoy the Lorcana universe in a new way, moving away from competitive dueling and focusing on shared fun against a challenging AI. If you enjoy card games with strong themes and want a well-structured 'boss battle' experience, Deep Trouble is a must-have for your collection. It's time to save the realm and show the sea witch that the Illumineers aren't playing around! ## FAQ ### Can I play this game solo? Absolutely!
