Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game: The First Chapter Starter Deck Emerald and Ruby — for gift shoppers
What it is
So this Disney Lorcana thing is basically a trading card game, which if you ask me sounds like something some corporate phonies cooked up to get kids to spend their allowance money. But here's the deal - it's actually not terrible. You get this starter deck with Emerald and Ruby cards, whatever that means, and it's got all these Disney characters on them like Mickey Mouse and Elsa and all those characters that make little kids go crazy. The cards are pretty decent quality, I'll give them that. Ravensburger makes them, and they're not some cheap knockoff garbage you'd find at a gas station. The whole point is you're supposed to battle other people with your Disney characters, which sounds ridiculous when I put it like that, but honestly? Kids seem to love this stuff.
Perfect for the Disney-obsessed kid in your life
Look, if you're shopping for some kid who's absolutely nuts about Disney - and let me tell you, there are a lot of them - this starter deck is actually a pretty smart gift. The thing that kills me about most card games is you need to buy a million different packs and spend like fifty bucks before you can even play one lousy game. But this starter deck? You can literally start playing right out of the box. No kidding. It's got everything you need to figure out if the kid actually likes the game or if they're just going to lose the cards under their bed in two weeks. And since it's Disney, parents won't think you're corrupting their precious angel with violent imagery or whatever they worry about these days.
Is it worth it?
Here's the honest truth - I don't know what this thing costs, which is pretty important when you're trying to figure out if something's worth buying. But assuming it's not ridiculously expensive, yeah, it's probably worth it. The cards look nice, the game seems simple enough that kids can actually learn it without having a nervous breakdown, and Disney characters never really go out of style, do they? The downside is obvious - once a kid gets into this stuff, they're going to want more cards, and more cards, and before you know it you're spending your kid's college fund on cartoon mouse cards. But for a starter? It does exactly what it says it'll do. Gets you started. Sometimes that's all you need.
