Ravensburger is showing for the first time how the new Trading Card Game (TCG) "Disney Lorcana" is played. The game publisher also presents the first plans for its Organized Play program, with which it supports specialist toy retailers at in-store events. The focus should be on fun and community for TCG enthusiasts and beginners alike.
The Trading Card Game will be available from August 18th in specialist toy stores, and from September 1st in other stores as well. Disney Lorcana is a fantastic collectible card game that introduces two or more players to the wonderful world of Lorcana. Players take on the role of powerful wizards known as Luminari, using magical ink to bring a team of Disney characters to life. These are called "mica" and appear both in a familiar form and in a completely new interpretation.
“We have developed easy-to-understand rules”
In Disney Lorcana, players and their teams of Glimmers explore the world of Lorcana to collect legends. You play characters, actions and objects from your hand and decide whether you want to challenge your fellow players with your "glimmers" or collect legends. Whoever collects 20 legends first wins.
„Bei der Entwicklung des Spiels waren für meinen Co-Designer Steve Warner und mich vier Faktoren essenziell: leichte Zugänglichkeit, Spaß, Strategie und Spannung“, sagt Ryan Miller, Co-Designer und Brand Manager von „Disney Lorcan“. „Wir haben leicht verständliche Regeln entwickelt, von denen wir glauben, dass sie neue Spieler ansprechen, während wir gleichzeitig genügend strategische Tiefe in das Spiel einbringen, um auch erfahrene Spieler zu begeistern. Wir wollten außerdem sicherstellen, dass sich Lorcana wie ein Disney Spiel anfühlt, was sich in den Artworks, den Kartentexten und dem Spieldesign widerspiegelt.
For example, Disney Lorcana has song cards based on the songs from the associated Disney movies. You don't have to sing them while playing, but we'd like to encourage players to do so."
The rules of the game are basically based on a system of resource generation and card actions already known from the classic Magic the Gathering. The big difference: Instead of having to play special resource cards - in Magic these are lands - players can turn one of their hand cards into "ink", the resource in Disney Lorcana, once per turn. This makes it clear that decisions in favor of the resource pool and thus possibly against individual good cards in hand - or vice versa - have to be made again and again. The discarded cards stay there permanently.
Wer bislang Zweifel daran hatte, ob Disney Lorcana tatsächlich die strategischen Ansätze von Trading Card Games wie Magic the Gathering und Co erreichen könne, kann aufatmen: Offenbar richtet sich das Kartenspiel schon aufgrund der Regeln auch an ambitionierte TCG-Fans. Die Chancen steigen damit jedenfalls, dass Disney Lorcan sich am Markt etablieren kann.
"Organized Play"
The Organized Play program supports on-site events such as game nights in local toy shops. Qualified toy retailers receive an Organized Play Kit with promo cards, pins and other prizes for players.
„Die Unterstützung lokaler Spielwarenhändler ist entscheidend für den Aufbau einer Community rund um ein TCG“, so Miller. „Unser Ziel ist es, nicht nur die Langlebigkeit unseres Spiels zu unterstützen, sondern auch ein zweites Zuhause zu schaffen, in dem sich „Disney Lorcan“ Spieler und Sammler zum Spielen und Tauschen treffen können.“
Specialized toy retailers can use the Organized Play Kit to host tournaments or support Disney Lorcana league games. Players earn points primarily by playing (win or lose), bringing a friend to play, or teaching someone the rules. They can then exchange these points for a prize. The Organized Play Kit contents support a 12-week league play program.
A list of participating local toy retailers will be available prior to launch disneylorcana.com be available.
