It’s time to celebrate the launch of The Great Hunny Rescue - Illumineers Quest, and Hero Stash is bringing you a special Disney Lorcana Multiplayer event to mark the occasion!
With the Attack of the Vine Set Championships now wrapped up, we're taking a break from competitive play and switching things up this Saturday with a special Multiplayer Infinity event.
The Great Hunny Rescue officially releases on Friday, so what better way to celebrate its launch than getting together with the Hero Stash Lorcana community for some multiplayer games?
Form a group, bring your favourite cards from across the history of Lorcana, and battle it out to be the first player to reach 20 Lore!

A Different Way to Play Lorcana
Multiplayer Lorcana is a completely different experience to our usual weekly games. With 3–5 players at each table, you'll need to keep an eye on everyone, choose when to push for Lore, and decide when it's worth challenging your opponents.
Whether you're a regular Hero Stash Lorcana player, someone who hasn't played for a while, or you're keen to try something a little different, this is a great opportunity to get together with the Lorcana community and celebrate the launch of The Great Hunny Rescue.
