Current Lorcana players and Disney fans alike may relish this newest update the most. Those familiar with the ongoing story featuring Jafar from Aladdin will culminate when Reign of Jafar, the 8th set for Disney Lorcana, releases this summer. In this latest set, Jafar now possesses the Hexwell Crown and, with it, he has corrupted Archazia’s Island to his wicked will.

Traps and illusions abound in Reign of Jafar, and glimmers like Jasmine, a Steady Strategist, and Rapunzel, a High Climber, will need to band together to steal back the crown and defeat the evil vizier. Illumineers’ Quest: Palace Heist is a new co-op experience-in-a-box that will pit up to 4 players against Jafar and his minions.

Lorcana has also proudly announced that a New Collection Starter set will be released in the fall! This new set, called Fabled, will also expand over more parts of the world, like Brazil and other Asian locations, bringing the Lorcana world to new players and interested fans. This set will have a lot of important new aspects to it. And, for those who love to search for versions of their favorite characters, there will be two new rarities to look for in each booster pack: Iconic and Epic. Iconic cards will be extremely rare, with only two appearing in each set, while Epic cards will appear more often than Enchanted cards and feature special artwork and foil treatments.

Fabled‘s set will also mark the first time the game will rotate cards out of being legally available to competitive players to include in their decks. The first four sets will rotate out of the Core Constructed format, but will still be available to play in a new format, called Infinity Constructed. While all fans will still be able to play with their entire card collection, Lorcana sees this change as an important one to take to keep the competition fresh. The new launch will get its start in China and Japan, beginning with a Fabled Prerelease on August 29th, and the full release launching on September 5th.

Ravensburger (the game’s manufacturer) will also be printing a lot of cards back from the first few sets, such as Stitch Rock Star, Tinker Bell Giant Fairy, and Winnie the Pooh Honey Wizard. This new printing means you’ll be able to collect new enchanted cards of new and familiar characters.
