When Disney Lorcana launched in July 2023, it was strictly a competitive trading card game. As with any game, there’s a graceful way to play with newcomers or the kids at the local game store.
But the thirst for lore (the game’s version of victory points) is real, and few can stand in the way of a parched Illumineer.
Now publisher Ravensburger is expanding the format. Its new standalone game, Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble, is coming out soon and Polygon has your first look inside the box.
Get ready for cooperative and single-player game modes — both of which make use of the cards and decks you might already own.
In Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble, players will take on Ursula, the tentacled villain from The Little Mermaid. The subtitle of her oversized card inside the game box is Ruler of Lorcana, and she’s achieved that title by corrupting copies of familiar characters from the Disney back catalog — creatures called glimmers.
