Welcome to another Tip Tuesday!
This week, I wanted to start a series of posts about a new interactive card came that debuted this summer at the Magic Kingdom, appropriately entitled the "Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom." This is a free card game open to all guests of all ages.
Playing the game is very easy. First you need cards. To do that, just head over to the Recruiting Center located in the Firehouse in Town Square. Show your park ticket and you'll get a pack of five cards, a map (shown above) and, most importantly, your Key (also shown above). It's very important not to lose this key as all your progress is stored on that card.
Each day each player can get a new pack of cards like the ones seen above. They are numbered 1-70 and have different powers. They also are different kinds of cards from common to super rare. I'll talk more about the different card groupings and which ones you should watch out for later on in this series of posts.
I'll talk about how to play the game in next week's post. This week, I wanted to go over some general tips about this new experience.
First, Sorcerers is VERY popular. I mean VERY. It's not unusual to have a 30 minute wait just to get your initial set and/or expansion sets. As I say constantly, it's best to be at the Magic Kingdom for rope drop. If you don't have an attraction you really want to get to first thing, you might want to try to pop into the Firehouse to get your cards before it gets packed later on. Each day you're at the Magic Kingdom, it's a good idea to get a new pack of cards because they card packs are random, so you never know what cards you might get.
As you start to get more and more cards, you may want to think about how to keep your cards together. Some use baseball card books (the Sorcerers cards are about the same size and fit well). Disney says they may release a Sorcerers themed card book later this year.
As you play the game, you'll be going from one place in the Magic Kingdom to another and then back again. You will be cris-crossing the parks several times over, so good shoes really are important because you'll be doing a LOT of walking.
Finally, did I mention this is VERY popular? Frequent guests and Orlando locals have taken to Sorcerers with a passion similar to pin trading and Vinylmation. Don't be surprised if people approach you asking to trade. While trading can be fun, you will want to know what your doing. More on this aspect later in this series.
In my opinion, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom may be one of the best additions to the Magic Kingdom in many years (at least until new Fantasyland opens) - speaking of which, it's likely that this game will expand sometime after new Fantasyland opens in early December. This is a game everyone can play on their own or together. My three have had the best time working hard to complete the basic game -- and there are tougher versions in development.
There's so much more to Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, that I will spread this out over a few Tip Tuesday posts -- so look for more next week!
Until then -- Merlin needs your help Sorcerer!
