While Lorcana is one of the newest trading card games (released in August 2023), its fan base is already quite large. If you’re looking for a gift for a Lorcana player, you’ve come to the right place. In this Lorcana Gift Guide, you’ll find awesome gift ideas for both experienced players and beginners too.
So, without further ado, let’s jump right to it.
Can’t Go Wrong With: Lorcana Gift Set
First up, here’s a Lorcana Gift Set. As the name suggest that’s a great option for a gift. In the set, your giftee will find:
- 4 First Chapter booster packs
- 2 oversized foil cards
- 2 playable foil cards
- 34 game tokens
The foil cards are the same across all boxes. There’s the iconic Mulan (Imperial Soldier), as well as Hades (King of Olympus). On top of that, the 34 game tokens always come in handy.
The most value from this set, comes from the boosters, which are always an amazing gift. Each booster comes with 12 random cards, with at least two guaranteed rares or better. You never know what you’re gonna get, so opening boosters is always exciting.
When you receive boosters as a gift, it’s like your gift contains multiple smaller gifts inside. As such, the Gift Set is a thrilling gift, which every Lorcana player or collector will enjoy. The next product in our Lorcana Gift Guide also contain boosters, let’s take a look.
Pricier, But Better: First Chapter Illumineer’s Trove
What’s inside the Ilumineer’s Trove? Plenty of good stuff as it turns out, namely:
- 8 First Chapter booster packs
- 1 storage deck box
- 2 deck boxes
- 15 game tokens
- 1 player’s guide
As you can see, this product contains twice as many boosters as the previously mentioned Gift Set. Instead of promo cards, Trove contains a storage box, two deck boxes, and a player’s guide.
While the deck boxes are feature nice art, they aren’t the most sturdy. That’s not the case with the storage box, which is quite sturdy. It’s a great way to store Lorcana cards. There’s enough room for all the cards in the 8 accompanying boosters, as well as plenty more.
Illumineer’s Trove is a better gift option than Gift Set, but the downside is the higher price. However, either is a fine choice. You can simply make the decision on which one to buy, based on your gift budget. Your giftee will surely be pleasantly surprised be either one.
One last thing, if you can find one, the newer version, Rise of the Floodborn Illumineer’s Trove is also an amazing pickup. It contains newer cards, from the second Lorcana set.
Gift for New Lorcana Players: Starter Decks
What if you’re buying a gift for someone who’s a complete beginner to the game? Perhaps you want them to start playing the game. In that case, Starter decks are what you’re looking for.
The two previously mentioned products can be used to enlarge your collection and improve your existing decks. However, if you don’t already own a deck, you won’t be able to play with just a single Gift Set for example.
The Starter decks, on the other hand, are 60-card ready-to-play decks. They provide an incredible starting point for playing the game. If that wasn’t enough, each one also contains a single booster, so there’s also some fun randomness included. Additionally, Starter decks come with a rules insert, a paper playmat, as well as some damage counters.
It’s a good idea to purchase at least two different decks, so there’s everything needed for a 2-player game. Perhaps you can play a game with your giftee? That’s a great way to spend some fun quality time together.
There were multiple different decks released. You can find more information and a list of all Lorcana Starter Decks here.
Gift for Collectors: Disney 100 Collector’s Edition
Last, but not least, here’s the final item on our Lorcana Gift Guide. Disney 100 Collector’s Edition is pretty fresh, with its release date being December 1st, 2023.
As the name suggests, the product was released to mark the 100-year Disney’s anniversary. It contains:
- 4 Rise of the Floodborn booster packs
- 6 foil alternate-art cards
This looks somewhat similar to the Gift Set, but there are some important differences. The boosters are from the newer set, the 6 alternate cards are absolutely stunning, and the product is a limited print run.
Thus, many players think the product might become a great collector’s item if kept unopened. While the future is hard to predict, it is true that a 100-year anniversary comes around only once. Whichever the case, Lorcana collectors will probably be very excited about this gift.
Conclusion
So, that marks the end of our Lorcana Gift Guide. Hopefully, you’ve found the perfect gift that you were looking for. Don’t forget that perhaps the most fun thing you can gift is time spend together. It might be a good idea to ask your giftee to teach you how to play Lorcana. You might both enjoy it, as it’s a very fun game.
