ALLES GESPIELT

Talisman 4. Edition

Erweiterung: Die Stadt

The ninth expansion for the 4th edition of Talisman. Each player guides a character with a basic equipment of talent, luck and money; this basic equipment can be enhanced during the game. These characteristics, too, and the event cards and the reactions of the character to the event card determine the flow of the game.

The City / Die Stadt provides the third regional board expansion, for adding to the main board, plus more than 100 new cards and six new characters - Spy, Tinkerer, Tavern Maid, Elementalist, Cat Burglar and Bounty Hunter, augmented by three new Alternate Game End cards and the new miniatures, unpainted, for the new characters.

Of course, you can choose any character from any expansion or play The City with the Highlands or the Catacombs expansion or with any other expansion or with all of them together. There are nice new details like pets with unique abilities, high-quality weapons from the Arms Store or artifacts that are for sale in the Magical Warehouse. Potions from the Apothecary should be handled with care, they could have some disturbing and unexpected side effects. The "Wanted" cards offer marvelous awards when you demand the bounty. Abilities and effects that relate to adventure cards are implemented for city cards when a character is in the city. You can also land in jail and can only free yourself with a suitable dice roll, effects and abilities cannot be used.

As all other expansions The City makes Talisman even more challenging and thrilling, even more a mirror image of might-be, an adventure not for inside your head, but on the board and in the city of Talisman.
