Disney Lorcana is an excellent TCG for veterans of the genre to introduce their friends and family members into the hobby. With an IP that is familiar to people of all ages, beginners can focus on learning basic TCG mechanics and spend less time figuring out how to pronounce an ancient demon warlord’s middle name.
Your first Lorcana purchase typically comes down to two options. Purchasing a starter deck allows you to jump into a game with a predetermined strategy and decklist. But if the starter decks available don’t resonate with you, you can buy a booster box and immediately have access to a large collection to build your own deck with. This guide will focus on booster boxes and tell you everything you need to know about this product.
What’s in a Disney Lorcana booster box?
Each Disney Lorcana booster box contains 24 booster packs. Since each booster pack is filled with 12 cards, that amounts to 288 cards in each booster box.
So far, every Lorcana set has introduced a little over 200 cards. This means that after rarities are taken into account, a booster box will likely contain over half of the entire set’s collection. If you’re lucky, you may even pull an Enchanted card, the rarest and most valuable type of card in Lorcana.
Booster Box vs. Booster Pack value
Booster boxes are an excellent way to jumpstart your collection. Regardless of the set, booster boxes are always priced in a way that they are cheaper than buying 24 booster packs outright. Boxes sit comfortably around $117 on TCG Market and Retail, while booster packs are found slightly under $6 each. Buying a booster box instead of 24 individual booster packs could save you over $20. Cracking open packs is one of the most fun aspects of TCGs, and doing so at a slight discount makes it even better.
All of Disney Lorcana’s sealed products (booster packs, boxes, starter decks) can be found in Local Game Stores, retail stores such as Walmart and Target, or online at TCG Market. Each Lorcana set releases with different characters and themes so if you’re chasing a particular card, make sure you purchase the booster box from its corresponding set.
