Shimmering Skies Lorcana Starter Decks have our Heart Racing

Ravensburger has once again delighted the gaming community with their latest additions to the Lorcana universe with the “Shimmering Skies” expansion set. Two new starter decks bring updated dynamics, characters, and strategies to the table, promising hours of engaging gameplay.

The “A Roaring Guest List” and “Ready to Let Loose” starter decks comes with a comprehensive set of components to ensure an immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience. It includes a 60-card starter deck featuring a blend of iconic characters and strategic elements. Additionally, the deck comes with 11 damage counters to help players track the state of their glimmers during play.

For ease of use, the set includes a paper playmat and a paper tracker token, providing a practical and thematic playing surface. To assist new players, a set of game rules is included, offering clear and concise instructions. Moreover, the deck includes a booster pack of 12 randomized cards from the “Shimmering Skies” expansion set, adding an element of surprise and customization.

The Emerald Steel deck is a must-have for fans of Disney’s “The Lion King.” Featuring iconic characters like Scar and a host of hyenas, the deck is aptly named “A Roaring Guest List.” The theme is woven seamlessly into the gameplay, with mechanics that echo the treacherous and opportunistic nature of Scar and his minions.


The Emerald Steel Deck capitalizes on your opponents’ damaged glimmers, much like the hyenas in “The Lion King” taking advantage of their prey’s vulnerabilities. This deck is designed to exploit any damage on your opponents characters, turning their misfortunes into your advantages.

The inclusion of steel glimmers from “The Emperor’s New Groove” adds a layer of robustness and versatility, with characters that can withstand and deal significant damage. Additionally, new cards featuring the beloved characters Little John and Robin Hood from “Robin Hood” expand the deck’s strategic repertoire, offering a mix of offensive and defensive capabilities.
