Ravensburger has officially dropped the rules for Coconut, Disney Lorcana's new multiplayer format that has been drawing Commander comparisons since its first tease. The format entered open beta on July 28, 2026, timed right alongside the Attack of the Vine set hitting store shelves, and the full ruleset is now live for players to test.

What Coconut actually is (and isn't)
Here's the thing: the Commander comparisons are a bit misleading. Coconut and Commander share two ideas, building your deck around a specific leader card and being designed for groups of three or four players, but the similarities mostly stop there.
Unlike Commander, Coconut is not a singleton format. You can still run up to four copies of any card, and the standard 60-card deck size carries over from regular Lorcana. The biggest structural change is the Lore goal, which jumps from 20 to 25, giving multiplayer games more room to breathe before someone closes things out.
The most distinctive twist is where the leader card comes from. The 18 current beta leaders are digital only, selected through the official Lorcana app when starting a new Coconut game. There are three leader options for each of the six ink types, and your deck must include at least one ink color that matches your chosen leader. Decks can run up to three ink colors total.
The full Coconut rule breakdown
For players who want the specifics before sitting down for their first game:
- Deck size: 60 cards
- Copies per card: Up to four (same as standard Lorcana)
- Ink colors: Up to three, with at least one matching your leader
- Leader cards: One of 18 digital beta cards, chosen in the Lorcana app
- Lore goal: 25 (up from 20 in standard play)
- Player count: Best with three or four players
Everything else plays out like a standard game of Disney Lorcana. No major mechanical overhaul, just a new layer of identity through the leader card and the adjusted win condition.
Where this fits into Lorcana's bigger picture
The timing of the Coconut beta is worth paying attention to. Collector Boosters are a known upcoming product for Lorcana, and the question hanging over that announcement has always been whether there are enough cards per set to justify a premium product. A new format with its own leader card pool, potentially expanding over time, starts to answer that question.
Right now, there is no confirmation of Coconut-exclusive physical cards coming to market. The beta is genuinely early, and Ravensburger has been clear this is a testing phase. Players can submit feedback through a survey or the official Lorcana Discord server, and the team is actively looking for community input before any rules become permanent.
You can try Coconut in person at Gen Con and Gamescom, both running under the supervision of the Lorcana team.
For Disney fans who enjoy Disney Dreamlight Valley and the broader world of Disney gaming, Lorcana's expansion into new formats signals that the TCG is pushing to build a more varied play ecosystem, not just a single competitive ladder.
How to get involved in the beta
The open beta is accessible now through the Lorcana app. Load up the app, start a new Coconut game, pick one of the 18 available leader cards, and build your 60-card deck around it. The beta is designed to be played with friends, so you'll want at least two other people at the table to get the full experience.
Feedback from this period will directly shape whether Coconut's rules get adjusted before any wider rollout. The Lorcana team has been explicit that nothing is locked in yet.
If you're looking to sharpen your Disney gaming knowledge while the Coconut meta develops, the Disney Dreamlight Valley guides collection is a solid place to spend time between sessions.
