Lorcana Academy

Lesson 01Basics

Race to 20 lore

In Lorcana you and your opponent are Illumineers, racing to collect 20 lore. The first to 20 wins. There's no attacking the other player directly. Everything is about lore.

Your characters earn lore by questing. To quest, a character exerts (turns sideways) and you gain the lore shown by the diamonds on its card. An exerted character is done for the turn. Everything stands back up, or readies, at the start of your next turn.
