Talisman is a classic board game of adventuring through the lands in search of the powerful Crown of Command. Take control of one of 14 different characters from a powerful Troll to a magical Druid, and enter a beloved world of fantasy adventure!
The Blood Moon expansion will be the eighth expansion for Talisman, packed with Lycanthrope goodness. Here’s the details:
With over 100 Adventure Cards, plus new spells, characters, and alternative endings, The Blood Moon adds a gripping layer of gothic horror to your quest for the Crown of Command.
Bad moon rising
In addition to a host of new challenges, The Blood Moon introduces two engaging mechanics: time alternates between “Day” and “Night,” and a bloodthirsty Werewolf prowls the land.
The new Time Card, which is placed near the board at the start of the game, flips between its Day and Night sides to indicate the inexorable passage of time. Whenever a player draws one or more Events on his turn, he simply flips the Time Card, a seemingly minor change with a range of game-altering consequences. Whereas creatures are slightly weaker in the cold light of day, they grow bolder at nightfall. What’s more, a number of new Adventure Cards have varied effects depending on the time of day; the night can usher in the Witching Hour, during which spells are more prevalent…or a thick Moon Mist can descend on the land, inhibiting safe travel until dawn.
Prowling the night
The night’s greatest danger, however, is its effect on the vicious Werewolf and his unwilling thralls. Represented by a detailed plastic figure, the Werewolf prowls the night, preying on Adventurers who wander into his hunting grounds. In the pale light of the Blood Moon, the Werewolf’s murderous rage increases and few can escape his wrath. Worse yet, an unfortunate run-in with this roving monstrosity can turn even the most steadfast adventurer into a Lycanthrope…a cursed slave to the moonlight’s sinister influence!
