Despite Disney Lorcana already being a runaway hit, Ravensburger is looking to bring more players into the fold. This summer, the company will release a standalone product called Disney Lorcana TCG Gateway aimed at newcomers and TCG beginners.
What’s happening:
- Disney Lorcana TCG Gateway will be a progressive learn-to-play experience that’s designed to not only ease new players into the game itself but also into TCG space.
- Described as the ultimate beginner’s introduction to the Disney Lorcana, the set will include
- Two 30-card basic Disney Lorcana decks
- A two-player game board with character standees, rules and player’s guides
- Additional cards that players will be rewarded to add to their decks as they learn about the card types and gameplay.
- When players have played through all of Gateway, they will have built two standard Disney Lorcana decks that can be played.
- Gateway will be released on August 9th, 2024 and will retail for $24.99 USD and $29.99 CAD.
