There's a new collectable card game coming to town and taking centre stage. At the forefront is Mickey Mouse himself and Disney! Ravensburger has announced that they will be releasing a trading card game next year, Lorcana.

As Ravensburger continues to build on its Disney range, moving on from Villainous and towards Lorcana, players will pull together their favourite characters in the magical world of Lorcana as "Illumineers". A modern storybook theme and plenty of vibing to Disney classic tunes beckon.

The gameplay mechanics have not been provided yet however in an interview with Polygon; brand manager Ryan Miller stated that Lorcana creates a unique and fun playstyle for the whole family to enjoy...

"People love that about Magic. We have pulled back from it. I wouldn’t say that we’re cooperative in any sense — it’s definitely a strategy card game. But I would say that we’ve pulled back the confrontation level, because we feel that that will appeal to a lot more folks. So if you think [of] chess as the highest confrontation level you can get, we’re a bunch of notches behind that because we want people to have fun [...] with these characters that they love so much.” - Ryan Miller

As for the characters involved - there are none released as yet! However, Disney has quite a lot of content to dive into - I wonder if the likes of Luke Skywalker and Tony Stark will be included in the upcoming title? With both Marvel and Star Wars franchises under the Disney name, this collectable card game could be extremely extensive for a collector. This is especially given the nature of shiny foil cards potentially being added into the mix.

To check out the full interview from Polygon, be sure to head over to the overarching interview about Disney Lorcana here. For more information on the upcoming title; Ravensburger will be showcasing the first look at the cards on September 9th at D23 expo in California. There is then a full release planned for late next year.
