Visitors also witnessed an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the fourth Disney Lorcana Challenge Event, taking place over the weekend at the NEC.

“We were blown away by the numbers attending the event and the resulting feedback,” said Alex Parker, Organised Play Coordinator at Ravensburger.

“We were able to share exclusive brand insights with the attendees and provide a platform for them to put forward suggestions, developments and ideas around how we can continue to grow our working relationship with them going forward.

“Organised play and in-store events is key to the long-term growth of Disney Lorcana and hobby stores are our eyes and ears into the player network, establishing safe community hubs and spaces where fans can gather and play. The Summit provided a great way for us to share ideas in a collaborative environment.”

Top-performing Illumineers were able to take part in side events to earn various rewards and exclusive items, with successful participants able to secure qualifications for future Lorcana invite-only events.
