You would be surprised how many TCGs use MtG as a template. Even the kingdom hearts trading card game (yes there was one) used a similar concept. Just without any land tapping.

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed them! Hope you have a great day!

Yay! So excited for you to play Lorcana more! It's such a fun game! Also, it's nice to see you again, you were one of the original people watching my Disney Villainous content when I was just starting, so it means a lot to see you sticking around! I hope you are doing well!

@@BrimleyGames post more man lol

Wow! Thank you so much!! That means a lot to hear that feedback! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Oh and please consider doing one for One Piece TCG as i'm sure it would be amazing! :) @@BrimleyGames

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That and not rely on hp as a win condition

Thank you so much!!! I am glad it was helpful!!

I totally agree! It is a very fun mechanic because you can build a deck of cards you want, and then depending on the current game situation, you can use a card you don’t need in that moment as resource!! I think that is one of the many great things about this game! Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed it and have fun playing Lorcana soon!!

I'm definitely playing lorcana and it is a cool feature of the game but it isn't something new and original, this is already used in several TCG such as Flesh and Blood

Thanks for sharing!! That’s exciting that it is present in other games. I think it’s a very cool resource system.

it’s been like this since 1993. look up magic the gathering

The old World Of Warcraft TCG used to do this (Not Hearthstone, the actual card game) - was one of the best features of it, also had quest cards you would put down as a resource face up that you could complete the quest at any time and get the reward, but also use it as a resource like normal.

When someone first explained to me how to play Lorcana, they said it's kinda like Magic and Pokemon combined. Edit: I'm only playing Magic right now but want to learn Lorcana bc I'm a massive Disney fan. Pokemon I just collect the cards. I refuse to play Yugioh ever again. Too goddamn competitive. Last game I played, this guy took 15 minutes for his first turn and had his board set up to where I couldn't do a goddamn thing.

It only took me two games to get the full grasp on Magic and I can say Lorcana is very similar to how you play it. Once you understand and Google what you don't, the game is very simple.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, I really like it too! It makes it a lot more fun!

Hi Mr Meow! So, the cool thing is they already made a John Silver card from Treasure Planet!!! He will be available in the first set. So far, he is the only one, but since they put him in the game, we know they will be making more Treasure Planet cards in the future! I think over time we will definitely see Atlantis & Big Hero 6 cards since those are animated movies and seems to be the focus of Lorcana. I am also a huge fan of Big Hero 6 and would LOVE to see that added into the game!! We don’t know yet if they will dabble into the Live Action movies yet like Tron, but maybe they will in the future since they are making 4 sets of this game every year!! Anyways, thanks for watching, it is fun to speculate on which cards are coming next. I hope you have a great day!

@@BrimleyGames in the cocreators interview with the gamer he did state that you can run a deck of pirates so that is a possibility that potc is a potential option.

Yeah, I would be SO intrigued to see the deck list for Ryan Miller’s pirate deck!! And yeah, who knows, maybe we will get Pirates of the Caribbean at some point 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s all up in the air, but that would fit into a Pirate deck perfectly!

No worries! That’s a great question! So, you get the lore immediately when you turn it for questing. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Each card is worth one ink. You place it face down in your inkwell. The number is the cost to play the card, meaning if your card says "2" then you must have 2 inks in your inkwell to play that card.

At the beginning of each turn, all do your cards are reset including the cards in your inkwell. This means if you play one each turn, over time you can play more expensive cards (or more cards). I hope this is answers your question. Hope you have a great day!!

Can you play spells at instant speed like playing spells on your opponent's turn

Sorry, I am not sure what “instant speed” means. I am guessing that’s from another trading card game. However, there are no cards that can be played on your opponents turn. I hope this helps!

@@BrimleyGames it does help. Thank you

Even more similar to mtg

A wild pacman appears! He's come to eat your sentence dots. 😀 waka waka waka

I knew it sounded familiar!

Thanks for the question. So, doing any of those actions requires a character to be ready (face up) and after you do the action, you must exert them (turn sideways). So, if you sing a song, your character would be exerted and so you would be unable to challenge or quest, unless a card can ready a character again. In that case, you could perform another action. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks!

Great question! Yep, each character can quest on your turn (as long as they were played the previous turn.) I hope this helps!

Great question. When you play a card in your inkwell, you MUST show it to your opponent. That way they can verify that it is a legal play. I hope this helped answer your question! I hope you have a great day!

@@BrimleyGames it did, thank you. It's information that is oddly missing from every video and website I've looked at searching for the answer. (And I'm assuming damage carries over between turns?)

@@philllllllll haha 😂 that’s hilarious! But yeah, it’s a rule. And yes, damage does carry over between turns!

There is no limit to the amount of ink you can have..

Great question! Yes, any card that is placed in the inkwell is gone for the rest of the game. You can’t get that card back at all for its abilities on the front side. **Sidenote: this is with the current abilities in the first set. In future sets, we may see a card that lets you get cards back from your inkwell, but for now, you can’t. I hope this helps! Hope you have a great day!

@@BrimleyGames perfect thanks! I got 3 decks and 2 boxes coming can't wait

That’s amazing!!! Congrats!! I know it’s hard to find, so that’s exciting!

@@BrimleyGames yeah our lgs sold out just on pre orders. He has a case of hanger boosters for sale and thats about it limit 3 or 5 packs a day i think

Yeah it’s crazy how limited it is!

This is a physical card game. I just used the digital images of the cards for the video to make it easier to learn. I hope this helps!

Hi Anthony! Currently there are only a few ways. There are certain cards that can exert an opposing character, removal options to banish a chosen character (even if “ready”), or even cards that deal damage without challenging (like a lot of steel cards). In the second set, we are also getting more cards that give you options to deal with “ready” characters. In my experience, you can only leave them all in a “ready” position for a short time. If you keep them there for too long and never challenge, your opponent will likely win before you. Also, cards like grab your sword and be prepared can take out a lot of characters at a time which can really mess up a strategy of leaving them all “ready” at the same time. There isn’t a simple answer here, but I hope this helped a bit. Please let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks!

Great point! I think that’s why the Amethyst (Purple) Ink is one of the most powerful in the game because it has a lot of card draw!

Great question! There are ways to slow an opponent down. Here are 2: -challenging: make favorable trades for you to slow down your opponent. -removal: cards that banish their characters without challenging This is a fun balance in the game. You have to figure out what the decks goal is. A lot of decks, just want to quest and go for 20 lore fast. But there are a lot of other decks that rely on expensive cards, and so they challenge / remove more in the early game and then play the big characters in the late game to win. I hope this answered your question! Hope you have a great day!

There are some cards in the Aladdin Cruela de Vil deck that have action opponent loses lore and an Aladdin that takes 2 lore and gets 2 lore for every character banished he defeats.

I was thinking more Duel Masters than anything

More like MTG, Dualmasters/ Kaijudo

Haha 😂 fair point!!

Bingo

I’m sorry to hear that, are there any questions you have that I can try to answer in more detail here?

@@BrimleyGames actually you explained it very well. But still to confusing for my small brain

It’s definitely one of those games that you have to play it a few times to have a good idea of how to play. Sorry that the video wasn’t as helpful to you. I hope you can play soon though!

I thought autistic people were supposed to be good at learning new things?

Pro tip: proxy all your cards and watch scalpers cry when they can't cash out their racket.

What if we want to play this game and not take advantage of other people who want to play by buying the cards and reselling them?

Scalpers are the worst people.

They’re printing these sets like crazy and everyone has the same idea to flip/scalp. Here’s hoping it’ll backfire and second hand cards in the market will be dirt cheap due to over saturation. 😁

I goddamn fucking HATE scalpers.
