Disney Lorcana turns three years old this year, and it blends the recognizable characters of decades of Disney history with a unique TCG that’s just as much fun to play as it is to collect. Whether you’re into Frozen, Moana, or Darkwing Duck, the game keeps growing, and if you’ve ever wanted to jump in, the Gateway boxed product is for you. Even better, you can save 20% at Amazon, bringing the price down to $19.99.
Gateway is the de facto starter set for playing Disney Lorcana, and it does a great job of teaching you about your Inkwell, questing, and just about everything else.
There are two 30-card decks that you’ll initially square off with, including Mickey and Elsa in one, and Stitch and Maleficent in the other. (Talk about an odd couple!) You’ll also find a neat game board inside that’s ideal for getting started (paper alternatives, begone!). Later on, if you find yourself hooked, you can pick up one of the many, many play mat designs available.
As you progress through the tutorial, you’ll open reward packs. It’s a really fun way to “unlock” new cards that slot into your deck, teaching players about synergies while also giving the fun of, well, opening packs with Disney characters inside.
All of this makes it one of my favorite starter sets of any TCG, but if you’d prefer to just collect Lorcana, there’s a small (but welcome) discount on the Collection Starter set. This $27.51 bundle includes a special variant of Stitch – Rock Star, as well as four packs from the Winterspell set and a binder to keep the cards in.
