Talisman City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Talisman City is an expansion to the Talisman board game. It was published in 1989 by Games Workshop.
Special rules
Talisman City provides 72 new Encounter cards, 7 new Adventure cards, 3 new Dungeon cards, 20 new Purchase cards, 10 new Spells, 6 new Characters, and an additional board that represents Talisman City.[1]
The Talisman City expansion replaces the city space in the Outer Region on the original Talisman game board, where there are more places to visit and additional items to purchase.
All characters visiting the city must always own at least one gold; an arrest warrant is issued for a penniless character, and if that character encounters the Patrol or Watch, the character is arrested and thrown into the Dungeon. Combat within the City also results in an arrest warrant.
New characters
Two of the new characters, the Minotaur and the Valkyrie, are regular characters. The four others (Sheriff, Archmage, King's Champion and Master Thief) are "titles" or "offices" that a character can acquire. If the character accepts one of these titles, the player hands in the original character card and receives the new position with all its attributes and abilities.[1]
Publication history
In 1983, Robert Harris designed the fantasy board game Talisman and it was published by Games Workshop (GW) with black & white cards. The game proved popular, and two years later, GW issued a second edition, which only differed in having full colour cards and new box cover art. In 1986, GW released an expansion set with new characters, spells and adventure cards. The expansion set also proved popular, and GW released more expansions: The Adventure (1986), Dungeon (1987), City (1989), and Dragons (1993).
City was designed by Evan Friedman and Paul Morrow.
