GeraldThe universe of Zootopia gets even bigger in Disney Lorcana’s upcoming 10th expansion, Whispers In The Well, set for release on 14 November 2025.
While the likes of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are no strangers to Lorcana, Geek Culture had a chance to peek into their main base of operations, the Zootopia – Police Headquarters location card, which expands the city’s footprint within the game.
Like many Steel ink cards, the Zootopia – Police Headquarters location card allows players to filter their hand early on to secure the best possible start. With its low cost, it can hit the field as early as the first turn, and once it’s in play, it earns 1 Lore each round the location remains active.
In terms of performance, the Zootopia – Police Headquarters holds its own among other uncommon-rarity locations seen so far in Lorcana. Its main drawback is the additional cost required each time you use its ability to filter your hand having to draw a card, pick to best of the lot, and discarding one. Compared to other locations that have been released, the ability is am on-rate trade-off for its consistency and flexibility. There will be a good chance the card will be included by default in the new Whispers In The Well preconstructed deck featuring Judy Hopps on the box art.
With Whispers In The Well being the first expansion to follow Fabled, it’ll be cool to see how the Steel archetype evolves in the current meta. Based on current meta decks, Steel pairs well with Amethyst, focusing on removing evasive cards through direct damage rather than digging for win conditions. It’s unlikely this new addition could shift the balance by itself, opening up new combinations and strategies.
We’re currently deep in spoiler season for Whispers In The Well, and if our hunch is right, the Zootopia expansion won’t stop here. It wouldn’t be surprising to see other iconic locations like Bunnyburrow or Tundratown join the lineup soon giving players even more reasons to explore the wild world of Zootopia in Lorcana.
Gerald currently straddles between his love of video games and board gaming. There’s nothing that interests him more than trying out the newest and fanciest gadget in town as well. He dreams of publishing a board game sometime in the future!
