What is Lorcana?

Lorcana is a trading card game (TCG) announced by Disney developed in partnership with designers at Ravensburger. You, as an "illumineer," will summon alternate versions of Disney characters (both heroes and villains) in an attempt to be the first to reach 20 points (called Lore).
It is similar to other TCGs like Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and Pokémon.

I am familiar with TCG basics, dabbled in Magic, played many boardgames. I am curious about Lorcana but so far all I know about it is that it's a Disney themed TCG.

What makes the game intriguing to you? What are some unique aspects of it? Anything you don't like about it? How much do I have to be into the theme to enjoy it? How much would I have to spend to enjoy the game 2p with my partner?

So, without reading /watching any links in the sidebar, or knowing anything about any TCG, I have a few questions:

What is a "foil card"?
How many rarities are there?
How many cards are there in a starter deck?

[–] gourd 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A foil card is just a card with holographic art. It's just shiny, basically.

There are 5 rarities: Common, uncommon, rare, super rare, and legendary There are enchanted cards too, but they're just alternates of other cards.

Starter decks come with 60 cards, plus one booster pack.

Ah cool. I have seen Pokémon "shiny" cards. I guess it's one of those.

Does this card play like normal non-foil card, or is there any in-game difference too.

[–] gourd 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They play just like any normal card, it's just a preference kind of thing

Got it. Thanks for the info!
