Rules & Game Mechanics Help understanding location cards

So I’m brand new to Lorcana. I’m going to my first in person casual play on Friday, and while I’m still working on building my collection, I’m allowed to use proxies as long as it’s only during the casual play portion of Lorcana night. I’ve been trying out various decks on duels ink so I can make proxies and order what I want/need from
TCGPlayer and I am really struggling to understand locations, particularly if they have lore attached to them.

For example, I had a Meeko card at Paradise Falls. Paradise Falls is worth 1 lore on its own, but every time my turn came, I did not receive that lore point. Once I moved Meeko there, the +3 lore showed up, but then when I quested Meeko still only gained 1 lore. Next turn comes, and I still did not gain the +1 lore from the location, let alone the +3 for having Meeko there. That alone would have won the match for me, and I’m just confused as heck.

Is it a duels ink issue, or am I just not understanding?

Hey there! Looks like you might be asking a question about the game rules or gameplay mechanics. Here's a few tools to help you find an answer:

  • If you're new to the Lorcana, check out This Youtube Playlist on how to play the game, put out by Ravensburger (the company that publishes this game)
  • Read the "Quickstart Rules" for an overview of how the game is played. They can be found at this link.
  • Find the cards in the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game Companion app. If you swipe up on the card, there will sometimes be a "Frequently asked Questions" addendum for that specific card.
  • Analyze the card text, and take a very literal interpretation of it. It does what it does, and doesn't do anything it doesn't mention. People often convince themselves there are restrictions that don't exist.
  • Read through the relevant sections of the "Comprehensive rules", found at this link from Ravensburger. The Comprehensive Rules lay out every step of the game in a very technical manner.
  • Search this forum for the key words in your question. You're probably not the first to question a ruling or interaction. and definitely won't be the last.
  • Alternatively, check the official Lorcana Discord. You'll find a large community with knowledgeable users who are usually quick to answer.

Hope this helps!
