You Just Have Until July 7 to Seize Some Rare First Chapter Lorcana Cards

The people over at Ravensburger have been doing a lot of good work for followers of its outrageously successful trading card game (TCG), Lorcana. The Reign of Jafar established gave us some amazing new cards, and the new Famous collection is looking to bring back some fan favorites as the sport moves into a new step, one that almost all TCGs go through, by rotating sets out of common play. Because the first four models will no longer be legal in opposition sing, the Famous set did reprint some cards from those first four to allow them to be used in competitions. And as a bonus, you don’t have to employ the reissued art cards, but can use any cards with the same name.

To that end, Ravensburger has announced a lottery to allow you to buy some of the initial First Chapter and Floodborn boost boxes, and not just British people but Japanese and Chinese varieties, too. Not all of the ones you buy are available to use in competition play, but all of them will look awesome in your collection. And the ones that do end up with reprints in the Fabled set can be used in competition play to add a flair of uniqueness.

There are a couple of caveats to the lottery. Firstly, you must have an EQL account to participate in the lottery. Ravensburger uses the EQL platform to ensure that no resellers or bots can enter the lottery in bulk and that it’s as fair as possible. If you’ve ever used the platform with Ravensburger, you’ll also have a little leg up, as it prioritizes people who have entered but not won other lotteries or contests. It’s easy to sign up on the Ravensburger website, so you should be able to get in the lottery ahead of the stop time.

The lottery is open now, but closes on Monday, July 7, at 9 p. m. PST. Once the lottery closes, winners should be informed and offered the chance to buy the select packs from July 11 onward. Several different types of boxes are available, including English, Chinese and Japanese variants, though not all of them are available everywhere. US buyers, for example, have five chances to enter for assorted language boxes, but EU buyers have an additional chance to buy German and French variants, too. Buyers in the US can try for these sets:

  • The First Chapter– Japanese– 6 cards per booster pack– 16 boosters per box–$ 45. 99 (2-box max )
  • Rise of the Floodborn– Japanese– 6 cards per booster pack– 16 boosters per box–$ 45. 99 (2-box max )
  • The First Chapter– Chinese– 12 cards per booster– 10 boosters per box–$ 49. 99 (2-box max )
  • Rise of the Floodborn– Chinese– 12 cards per booster– 10 boosters per box–$ 49. 99 (2-box max )
  • The First Chapter– English– 12 cards per booster pack– 24 boosters per box–$ 143. 99 (1-box max )

You can put your name in once for each of those five boxes, and you don’t have to buy them all if you win. You will just have the option to. It’s important to note that the English boxes are limited to just one per winner, while the other language variants give you the option for two. The Japanese/Chinese variants do have fewer cards per box, so it makes sense to be able to get two boxes.

Lorcana is not only one of my favorite games for two players, but one of the best games to give as a gift to a loved one. It takes everything fun about Magic: The Gathering and makes it accessible to everyone while giving you a Disney flair that’s hard to beat. This lottery is a chance to give someone you love a very special gift, or if you’re the Lorcana player in the family, you can treat yourself to something awesome.
