Start here: what to buy first
Ravensburger's newest beginner product is the 2-Player Starter Set: "If you are new to Disney Lorcana, 2-player starter sets are the place to begin" (Disney Lorcana).
For two players2-Player Starter Set$29.99Two ready-to-play 60-card decks with two special cards each, two deck boxes, 13 tokens, two lore trackers and a rulebook. Out since May 8, 2026 (Disney Lorcana, product page).
For kids and familiesGateway$24.99A board-game-style box that teaches the rules step by step, with two 30-card decks and reward packs. Its decks are smaller than tournament decks, so it's a way in, not a deck to keep playing (PHD Games, product page).
A new 2-Player Starter Set comes with Hyperia City on October 23. Stores list it at $29.99; Ravensburger hasn't posted its price yet. If you mainly want to open packs, an Illumineer's Trove ($49.99) holds 8 packs plus dice, a lore counter and a storage box (PHD Games).

MSRPs: PHD Games (August 4, 2026). Every store and date: our Hyperia City release page.
Some online shops already list Hyperia City boxes above $143.76 (TheGamer). Game stores and big stores at the box price are the place to look on release day. For which cards drive prices, see Lorcana chase cards.
Where you can buy at the box price right now
We count two things as a real chance to pay the price on the box (MSRP):
A shop we've vetted sells it at MSRP, or a little over it: up to 5% or $10 over, whichever is more, and never more than a quarter over. That's the rule on our Deals page, the same for every product.
A queue, drawing, invitation or pre-order that's open now at a store that sells it officially.
Right now
Lorcana is often the easiest game to buy at the box price once release week passes: older boxes and Troves tend to stay at MSRP at vetted shops for a while.
Get an alert when you can act
For Lorcana, our free email alerts come only when a queue, drawing, invitation or pre-order is open right now at a store that sells it officially, with the store's own link first (how they work). Pick Lorcana when you sign up below.
Release day is the main moment for Lorcana. Our Windows page lists Hyperia City's release-day stores.
