From the official description of Illumineer’s Quest – Deep Trouble:
The game follows the Illumineers as they track the evil sparkle Ursula to her lair on the outskirts of Lorcana. Unfortunately, Ursula has prepared for the arrival of the Illumineers by confusing other sparkles with mind control and causing natural disasters that create seemingly impossible obstacles. It will take all the skill and teamwork of the Illumineers to prevent Ursula from tightening her grip on the Lorcana realm. The game includes a guided gameplay area for Ursula, two pre-constructed Disney Lorcana TCG player decks (featuring Disney’s Mulan and Yen Sid and built with cards from the first four Disney Lorcana TCG sets), and a fierce Ursula deck. This sea witch plays by her own rules.
Ravensburger added that the $59.99 game can be played solo, with up to two players using the included pre-built decks, or as many as four players, if fans are using decks already in their collection. The Enlightener’s Quest has four difficulty levels, and players can customize their decks to increase their chances – especially useful on the game’s most extreme difficulty setting.
