Brand New Format: Pack Rush

Want a new way to play a quick game of Lorcana just using a couple of packs? Here’s Pack Rush!

During the Lorecast earlier, we didn’t just get news about the next set, a brand new playing method was also introduced! The details are now up on the Disney Lorcana Resource Page, details as follows!

To play, follow these setup instructions:

1. Each player needs two unopened Disney Lorcana booster packs. These can
   be from the same set or a mix of your favorite sets.
2. Determine the first player using any method that’s convenient and
   comfortable for you. Examples include rolling dice, flipping a coin, taking
   turns naming Disney Princesses until someone can’t, etc.
3. Open your booster packs. It’s best if you don’t look at the cards yet. That way
   the game can be a surprise for everyone.
4. Set aside the marketing/puzzle cards. You’ll need them later.
5. Shuffle all the cards from your two booster packs together, again taking care
   not to look at them. There is no rule against mixing ink types in Pack Rush—
   you can play with them all!
6. Set your lore tracker to 0.
7. Draw 5 cards for your starting hand. If you want to alter your hand, you can
   do that now.
8. Remember those two marketing/puzzle cards you set aside? Alakazam—
   they’re ink cards! Put them into your inkwell in the ready position. You start
   the game with 2 ink ready to go!

Once these steps are completed, the game begins. From this point on, Pack Rush uses the
normal Disney Lorcana rules (which you can find here), with a couple of important exceptions:

• The first player to reach 15 lore or more wins the game.
• If you need to draw and you’ve run out of cards in your deck, shuffle your discard and
  place it facedown as your new deck.

To make the game more interesting, the Lorcana team also suggests that the 2 booster packs can be picked from a mix of different sets.

Overall, this looks like a pretty fun way to try a different variation of Lorcana at the rather cheap cost of 2 packs if you want to play something different than the decks you have built. Will you be trying it?
