3 Years After Launch, Disney’s Lorcana Is Just Getting Started
Lorcana has exploded since it came on the scene, and I had a chance to chat with co-founder Ryan Miller about where it may be going next.
Three years after launching, Disney's Lorcana continues to gain popularity among tabletop gamers. The game's appeal extends beyond Disney enthusiasts, attracting those who enjoy the artwork and collectability. At the recent D23 convention, Ravensburger showcased their Lorcana booth with a significant expansion, featuring a retail space, a large play area, and a Collector Quest event where players can search for cards and trade for rarer ones.
The event included a large tournament and a growing fan base. Lorcana's creator, Ryan Miller, emphasizes the importance of listening to customers and avoiding being too reactive. He explains that while the game caters to a wide range of players, including those new to trading card games, the company focuses on keeping everyone happy by providing an agile play experience and valuing feedback.
With support from Disney, Lorcana is set to be included on Disney Cruise Lines starting in 2027, but Miller stresses that the goal is not to turn casual players into hardcore gamers. Instead, the company aims to create a welcoming environment for all players, whether they collect art or engage in competitive play. The team behind Lorcana is committed to adapting to players' lifestyles and offering a digital platform for those who want to play at their convenience.
