The FirstChapter

Ravensburger launched Disney Lorcana in game stores on August 18, 2023 and everywhere else two weeks later, and the first printing was gone almost immediately — stores limited booster packs per customer, the trove boxes resold at multiples, and a card game nobody had played yet had a secondary market. The First Chapter is the set that did it: 204 cards drawn across Disney's whole catalogue, from Steamboat Willie to Moana, in a style that looked like nothing else on a card shop's wall.

The chase was the enchanted rarity — twelve full-art foil versions numbered beyond the set, Elsa as the Spirit of Winter above all — and the alternate-art Mickey Mouse, Artful Rogue that leads our shelf. The game underneath turned out to be good: two inks per deck, questing for lore instead of attacking for damage, a Shift mechanic that lets a card step onto an earlier version of the same character. Every card here is priced to the live market; the ones at $40 and up are photographed as the exact card you'll receive.
