The biggest challenge for any trading card game—especially as it matures and the sheer amount of content grows—is creating entry points so players can dive in without feeling intimidated by the ever-increasing complexity.
While Disney Lorcan already has several starter decks you can purchase as an introduction. Target shoppers can now get the best all-in-one starting point: Disney Lorcana Gateway. This set includes everything you need to learn the game, with step-by-step instructions, as well as a game board and other accessories to help you expand your knowledge of the game’s mechanics in a gradual yet fun way. There are two starter decks so you can jump right into one-on-one battles with friends, as well as four curated reward packs to expand and customize your deck.
Disney Lorcana Gateway includes all of the following:
- 1 game board
- 2 starting decks (30 cards each)
- 4 reward packs (18 cards each)
- 30 damage counters
- 2 double-sided character movers
- 2 character bases
- 1 rule book
- 1 manual with QR codes to instructional videos
- 2 brochures with decking tips
Disney Lorcana Gateway is available now at Target, while other retailers will start selling the kit on August 9. That should give you plenty of time to be ready for Lorcan’s upcoming Shimmering sky Set to be released in August. Starter decks, Booster boxesand that Illumineer’s Trove Pack can be pre-ordered at Best Buy.
