The Comprehensive Rules tell you how to play Lorcana. Two other Ravensburger documents tell you what happens at a tournament table: the five turns after time is called, when a Lore Guide will let you take a play back, what a missed trigger or an extra card costs you, and what you can and cannot write down, sleeve or keep on your phone.
