Is Disney Lorcana a DEAD game?

[@niccodirenzi4126]

Its def not dead lol

[@johnparkin7872]

Definitely needs a mobile game

[@lillysdad412]

I've been saying this as well. And show to go with the story would make sense to help with getting more kids and adults into the game.

[@HighTechWizard]

Affordable cards does not mean a game is dying, it makes the game available for more fans.

[@RuunanLorcana]

Exactly. Great for players bad for collectors.

[@AshHayBrax]

I think it's slowly growing amongst our young players. Like 6 years old+ I am glad the are not stingy with the supply of booster boxes. Kids can actually get their hand on it.

[@thefallenmonk605]

Our Midwest store beats out standard magic every Friday.

[@Stumpy1938]

There are 7 LGS's within 30 minutes of me. All playing multiple days each week and turn out is growing.

[@RuunanLorcana]

I’m jealous! I have a few an hour away from me, which can be hard to make it to them if I work late.

[@burnance]

Pixelborn shutting down really hurt. I suspect we'll see another decline when Pokémon TCG Pocket comes out soon. Hopefully it'll kick Ravs into gear announcing at least some sort of online client, even if it doesn't release right away. Lorcana is one of the best games to play currently, so it would be a shame if it died just out of them being behind the curve on the digital side.

[@MatthewBreck]

I don’t play but the shop I play other games at still runs tournaments they seem to be getting a decent amount of players mostly young kids like middle school age

[@RuunanLorcana]

My shop has a great mix. Not enough kids to do their own league yet, but definitely still very popular.

[@sn2967]

They pumped out too much too fast.

[@prestonandersen1865]

With everything going on with Magic the gathereing there is a good chance a lot of players are going to move from that to lorcana

[@RuunanLorcana]

And we will welcome them with open arms :)

[@tioh5915]

Magic is no fun to me. Starter decks were always really unbalanced when i tried it. Yugioh is to complicated. Pokemon is boring af. Lorcana is a really nice game imo. My gf and i have fun every round we play and the starter decks feel really balanced.

[@dewclawz]

New sets are available and there's plenty of supply so it's cheaper, old sets' demand is still higher than the supply

[@Zanji1234]

oooh some investors are crying because their enchanted cards cant be sold for 200 dollars and plus... :D finally they investors and scalpers are gone and finally the gamers stayed

[@RuunanLorcana]

I used to have mine sealed up and on display on my desk. Way more fun to actually play with them :)

[@perfectlyflawd7683]

Def not dead, I just wish they didn’t shut down pixelborn

[@RuunanLorcana]

Same. Still holding out hope for their own client one day.

[@briankuiken1409]

At a glance in Austin you might think its dead, but it's really because Game Kastle and a couple other shops absorbed all the players because they provide a better prize support and general service and personable experience.

[@RuunanLorcana]

Interesting. I travel to Austin for work a few times a year, haven’t had the chance to play locally there yet though.

[@jacobbhendersonn3529]

Lorcana is far from dead. I invest heavy in Pokémon and lorcana and def like the lorcana cards better

[@dimscollects2625]

To me The new enchanted cards look lazy and bland. I have no idea who thought it was a good art decision. And yes the online game taken away definitely hurt the game. Not in a huge way but it definitely pushed a lot away. I’m glad I got out when I did. Good luck to those who still enjoy it. I do hope it gets better for those people.

[@RuunanLorcana]

It’s definitely a preference thing. I actually kind of like that they went with treasure map x davinci drawings for the set featuring Pirates and inventors. Still waiting for them to announce a Chip n Dale enchanted though or we riot.

[@joey1390]

The game is growing. Not dying

[@lorcanabanana]

No way. I think its thriving!

[@TreyPuga]

This guy is way off. The price changing happens with EVERY SET in EVERY GAME… unless that set changes the meta and/or introduces new, unique, or disruptive mechanics, then that price goes up!!

[@RuunanLorcana]

I don’t believe I framed it like that. Stock increasing because the health of the game is strong is driving prices down post release. It only hurts it as a collectors product while it’s still in rotation.

[@dekdenfor9770]

Cardboard shouldn't be an investment

[@Brandonhart100]

@@dekdenfor9770 are collections investments? do they have value? Why would you purchase something that has 0 value in return? I just honestly think there's a balance there. Collectors and players are good for the hobby. Collectors actually drive singles prices down.

[@MattGinger-v5y]

It's growing in popularity where I live SA.

[@TouYube886]

They dont do much promotion 😢

[@jerolete1874]

lorcanito is not too bad to play online

[@RuunanLorcana]

I’ve not yet heard of this, but wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t last too long like pixelborn.

[@Brandonhart100]

When I hear the $50 under MSRP thing... just like Pokemon and everything else? We have the two first sets now selling for either $80 over MSRP or $10 under and the game has only been out for a year. That's actually amazing. By the way, Pokemon sets even like Surging Sparks MSRP for $161.64 and presale for $100.

[@RuunanLorcana]

I agree. I think the game is in the perfect spot for players right now. Except for some meta legendary singles.

[@Brandonhart100]

@@RuunanLorcana so in your opinion they're too expensive? I guess my thought is that RB is in a pretty good place right now. If they were too cheap, you'd have complaining about that too.

[@RuunanLorcana]

Once you get most of the meta cards, the good thing is that they can be reused in so many decks. I think $300/400 is a little daunting for new players starting from scratch though.

[@Brandonhart100]

@@RuunanLorcana I guess assuming you have to have the best of the best and compete at the highest level, then that's what you'd pay. But considering the prices of boxes, and how often Diablos and BTH are pulled, I don't think it's bad at all. That being said, consider the price of a starter deck right now. $10 to $12 along with a pack. That's all it takes to get started.

[@RuunanLorcana]

Very true.

[@ippoverse]

It’s too expensive tbh

[@yoshikid91]

I agree, game costs way too much for what it is.

[@RuunanLorcana]

That’s fair. Most of the meta cards are pretty pricy. Only way to fix that would be to do reprints

[@gregcoffosmusic4186]

This video makes absolutely no sense LOL I have approximately 11 or 12 TCG shops around me and all of them have weekly or tournaments that have decent sized showings. Whenever new stock comes in it goes out real quick as well. I also just sold two Enchanted cards that aren't very playable in The Meta for $70 each. Sounds like someone is just disgruntled about there not being an online platform which I understand to a degree, but that definitely doesn't mean a dead game. I mean how dare they make it to where you actually have to face people in person in this digital age

[@RuunanLorcana]

It’s an open ended question, just countering what you see online about it. I make it pretty clear I think now is actually the best time to play Lorcana.

[@gregcoffosmusic4186]

@RuunanLorcana you know what, youre right you did. I'll leave the comment to engage conversation on your page, but retract some of the detail here.

[@RuunanLorcana]

No worries :). Thank you for engaging. Ps. I love this game so much I have a new video dropping today revealing something I have been working on

[@jasonpugh78]

This game is only growing, far from dead.

[@lilvisionill2057]

Nah

[@Milaber]

lul ded giem!

[@whitesoxMLB]

I liked the game, but I sincerely hope it dies so that Disney learns that vindictively policing their IP isn't the best business model. I discovered Lorcana from my LGS but Pixelborn was what got my hooked and invested in the community. I have so much less interest in paying big money traveling to play Lorcana now that they've nuked the far-and-away best means for testing out decks in advance.

[@RuunanLorcana]

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get an official digital product for the game one day. It plays so well online and makes it a lot more discoverable.

[@whitesoxMLB]

@@RuunanLorcana It's almost like they should have rolled that out first before spitefully shutting down the volunteer platform that most of their customers used. Don't reward companies that treat you like shit.

[@jacobbhendersonn3529]

Lorcana is far from dead. I invest heavy in Pokémon and lorcana and def like the lorcana cards better
