Cult of the Lamb

Daniel and Mark rip open some packs of Disney’s Lorcana, a trading card game from boardgame and puzzle publisher Ravensburger. We discuss how the game has developed from a famously rocky launch, to a seasoned game in the last year since its release. Does Lorcana have enough new and interesting gameplay to distinguish it from the rest of the pack? Or has the magic evaporated like Cinderella’s carriage at midnight?
