So, you’ve heard the buzz about Disney Lorcana and want to dive in? Good choice. It’s Disney magic meets trading card battles, and once you start questing for lore, you’ll be hooked. If you’re here to play or to collect (or a little bit of both), this beginner’s guide will get you set up in no time.

What Is Disney Lorcana?

Disney Lorcana is Ravensburger’s take on a trading card game, but with a very Disney twist. You step into the shoes of an Illumineer, summoning characters like Elsa, Stitch, or even Maleficent to help you gather 20 lore points before your opponent does.

It’s easy to pick up, but has enough depth to keep you coming back for more. And yes, that means plenty of excuses to build new decks and grab shiny new cards (we know the feeling 👀).

The Basics: How Lorcana Works

Here’s the quick version:

• Decks – You play with a 60-card deck.

• Inks – Cards use one of six “ink” types (Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Steel). These inks power your plays.

• Cards – You’ll use characters to quest and earn lore, items to boost your plays, and actions for one-off effects.

• Win Condition – First to 20 lore takes the game.

Not sure where to begin? Grab a starter deck - it’s a ready-made way to learn. You’ll find them in stock at Just Pulled.

What You Need to Get Started

The best part? Getting into Lorcana doesn’t take much:

1. Starter Decks – Pre-built, balanced, and ready to play. Perfect for learning.

2. A Pal to Play With – Lorcana is a two-player game at its heart (though you’ll soon want more challengers).

3. Accessories (Optional) – Sleeves, binders, and playmats keep your cards safe and looking sharp.
