Disney Lorcana designer says popular TCG was initially designed with Location cards in mind

Disney Lorcana revealed last week that the popular trading card game will introduce a brand new card type in its upcoming third set, Into the Inklands. Lead game designer Steve Warner visited the official Discord server over the weekend to fill in some details about the mysterious Location cards, including how to banish them and what benefits they grant to visiting characters. First reported by ComicBook, Warner’s Q&A session on Lorcana’s Discord server confirmed many details that savvy players gleaned from the single card shared with the public during Into the Inklands’ reveal. Locations will have an Ink cost similar to any other card, and some will be Inkable, as well - able to be converted into the single resource needed to cast more powerful and costly Characters, Songs, Items and Actions. Locations will enter play active and won’t need to “dry” before taking effect. Similarly, newly played Character that haven’t dried themselves will still be able to move onto locations and take advantage of their various effects. Players will need to pay the Move cost of a specific location to shift a Character over, which is displayed on the left of the middle portion below the art and above the rules text. Characters or Locations aren’t exerted when moved, but Characters can only move between Locations - not back to the plain battlefield or onto the same location simply by paying the cost, again.
