Introduction

The first set of Disney’s new collectible card game, Lorcana, dropped in US hobby stores on August 18, 2023 and at big box retail stores (and internationally) on September 1, 2023.

Produced in collaboration with German game company Ravensburger, Disney has lofty ambitions for its first foray into trading cards, with the ultimate goal of competing with the likes of Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering at the top of the TCG world.

We’re just under a month into its official launch and it’s safe to say that things are off to a good start — so good, in fact, that Ravensburger had already announced a reprint of its first set, “The First Chapter”, before it had even hit the shelves at big box retailers.
