Elements of the Lorcana Organized Play program

Ravensburger pulled back the curtain and revealed some of the details of the upcoming Lorcana Organized Play Program. Qualifying local game stores may receive a kit of promo cards, pins, and other prizes  they can use to host tournaments or support League play. In League play, participants collect points by playing (win or lose), bringing a friend to game night, or teaching someone the rules.

Kit materials may be awarded to players with the highest point totals and according to the announcement one kit will support a full 12-week season of league play.

Ravensburger strives to provide the best play experience for our Disney Lorcana retail customers and organized play participants by working to assure that Lorcana Locations meet, and continue to meet, common industry standards.
