It seems that Gaston is making the rounds around Europe, this time to Italy!
The Lucca Comics & Games is an annual comic book and gaming convention held in Lucca, Italy and Lorcana is confirmed to be a part of the event! Thanks to Senith for the information!
In this newsletter email, Ravensburger state that they are confirming their participation in the Lucca Comics & Games 2023, where they will have a booth at Carducci Pavilion – CAR311.
As part of their “A Whole New World” event on November 3rd, participants will be able to try out Disney Lorcana to obtain a promotional card of Gaston – Arrogant Hunter, similar to the MCM Comic Con held in London in next week. The email also states that Starter Decks and Boosters of The First Chapter will be available on sale.
Currently the Gaston – Arrogant Hunter promo card has not been announced for Lucca Comics & Games on their site or social media beyond this email. However, an event is listed on their website hosted by Excalibur Games where participants can bring a deck or buy a deck directly from the host to earn points where an exclusive promo is given out to participants who complete the objectives, which is presumably Gaston – Arrogant Hunter.
Update:
An update is here for the Ravensburger booth! In this post, they confirm that Gaston – Arrogant Hunter will be available at their booth.
In addition, the post also state that Lorcana illustrators Alice Pisoni & Valerio Buonfantino will be present on November 3rd and 4th.
The post goes on to mention that The First Chapter products will be available for sale on site, including the starter decks, boosters and even the Illumineer’s Trove which was previously not available in Italy.
Also mentioned is a Disney Lorcana tournament that will be held on November 3rd, though the post states that participants are limited to winners drawn live on the Ravensburger YouTube channel on October 20th, which as of this post did not seem to have any activity on that date.
Besides Lorcana, many of Ravensburger products and activities will also be available on site, including Villainous and several others.
