GTM #109 - TALISMAN REVISED 4TH EDITION: THE DUNGEON EXPANSION
by Fantasy Flight Games
DungeonArt2

Surrounding the land of Talisman are four great kingdoms known as Regions. Each Region offers great opportunities, as well as terrible dangers, for adventurers brave enough to enter them. This expansion allows you to enter one of these extraordinary areas – the Dungeon Region ruled by the dreaded Lord of Darkness.

TalismanBoxTalisman Dungeon was the third expansion for the original Talisman game, and turned out to be the most popular in the entire 25-year, four edition history of the game. It made perfect sense for FFG to release a new take on the classic Dungeon as our first large-box expansion.

Five classic characters, updated to FFG’s Revised 4th Edition, join in the quest: the Gladiator, Amazon, Swashbuckler, Gypsy, and Philosopher, each with their own highly-detailed plastic miniature, are ready to join the rest of your adventurers in the quest for the Crown of Command!

The “L”-shaped Dungeon board connects to a corner of the main Talisman board. When a player arrives at the Ruins, he must make a choice: Stay on the world’s surface, or brave the depths to try their luck against the Lord of Darkness. The object of the game remains the same as the Talisman base game. However, the Dungeon Region offers a new way to reach the Crown of Command.

If players are powerful enough to defeat the Lord of Darkness, they can emerge from the Dungeon even farther along on their quest for the Crown of Command!

DungeonArt1Compared to previous editions, the Dungeon deck is much larger in the new version -while there were 36 Dungeon cards in the 2nd Edition and 40 in the 3rd, the new FFG version’s Dungeon deck is flush with 128 cards! Also included are new Adventure and Spell cards, and the brand-new Treasure cards, representing the powerful items that only the bravest and mightiest adventurers will collect after defeating the Lord of Darkness!

The Lord of Darkness remains locked in his dark prison, its murky precincts home to all manner of loathsome and vicious creatures who do his nefarious bidding. The demon’s undead legions infest its depths, eager to devour the hapless souls who wander or become trapped there. The Goblin King and his thieving minions also lurk in the subterranean maze, filling the dark lord’s treasure room with untold wealth and powerful artifacts. And everywhere tread the evil one’s iron golems, destroying all who cross their path.

Do you dare seek the rewards of the Dungeon?
