Talisman

DIE HEILIGE QUELLE

 

Another new expansion for the 4th edition of Talisman! Each player guides a character in possession of a basic equipment of talent, luck and gold, this can vary during the game. These characteristics and the event cards plus reactions of the character influence the game.

The Sacred Pool expands the game again with new cards introducing with new events, enemies, strangers, objects, companions and locations, 3 sheets for alternate endings of the game and reward cards for completing Warlock Quests as well as Stable Cards introduce new elements into the game, as do the 4 new characters.

These new characters are Mage, Cleric, Dread Knight and Chivalric Knight. The Stable Card stack holds mounts that characters can acquire during some encounters on the board.

The alternate ending for the game that gave the name to the expansion, THE SACRED POOL, lets players keep the reward cards for completed tasks, even if the character is killed, if you reach the Crown of Command with four such reward cards you win the game. JUDGEMENT DAY – Fate markers and a roll of dice decide on one or more winners if you enter the Crown of Command area. DEMON LORD – A character entering Crown of Command area must attack the Demon Lord using talent until the demon loses all live points to win the game.

This expansion provides another chapter in the ongoing Talisman saga; if you love the game you will need The Sacred Pool, the well-known game play was extended with attractive, lovingly detailed features, especially the mounts for the character are cute; the Sacred Pool ending considerably accelerates the game.
