Ravensburger Expands Response to Upper Deck Lawsuit
Lorcana drama keeps on coming
Thomas Traplin
June 12, 2023
Hey there,
Let’s get back on schedule.
The Lorcana saga continues with Upper Deck trying to prevent the release of the game in August and we are only a few days away from the release of Tales of Middle-Earth which is primed to be one of the craziest MTG releases ever.
This summer is shaping up to be a hot one.
Cheers,
Tom
📰 Industry News
Highlights if you've only got 5 minutes
1/
Ravensburger is confident they will be able to hit the August release of Lorcana, despite the lawsuit from Upper Deck and their attempt to delay the release.
2/
The bids keep coming with Dave & Adam's Card World offering $1 million to the lucky collector that brings them The One Ring 001/001 card. Will anyone top that? Who else thinks an explosion of counterfeit The One Ring’s start showing up online?
3/
Heroscape is back… again. Renegade Game Studios has licensed Heroscape from Hasbro after they attempted a crowdfunding campaign back in 2022.
4/
A tabletop publisher has alleged that Disney Lorcana studio Ravensburger “encouraged” the trading card game’s co-designer in “pilfering” an original TCG.

Cool games on the horizon
The giant roll, throw and collide dice game! Grab your asteroid die from the middle, but be prepared to face-off against your opponent snowball-fight style! Once the moon dust has settled, roll and crash the dice together to get your score up, and hopefully get your opponents score down. With giant squishy foam dice this game is as tactile as it is fun. You will need strategy, speed and skill to come out on top.
Nearly 100 times the funding goal has been raised of this squishy dice combat game with less than 3 days on the campaign. (link)
