Having reforged the broken Hexwell Crown, a Jafar glimmer has transformed into the formidable Supreme Sorcerer of Lorcana. It's now up to you to sneak into his stronghold and snatch the Reforged Crown before he becomes all-powerful.
The Illumineer's Quest games in the Disney Lorcana product range represents a co-op board game and TCG hybrid. You can play with the included decks or bring your own to try and work together to take down the "bad guy", who plays by their own rules and has some really nasty tricks up their sleeve.
Palace Heist is the latest Illumineer's Quest game and introduces some new mechanics and different win/lose requirements from the previous title, Deep Trouble, which we featured last year.

Two-Headed Hydra is a co-op 2v2 play variant of Disney Lorcana, inspired by MTGs "Two-Headed Giant" format. It is designed for a more casual playstyle and to encourage teamwork, pairing less experienced players with more experienced players to help learn/teach the game together.
