Talisman the Magical Quest Game - Talisman City

Ah, the city. Who doesn't love a good trip to the city for a shopping spree? What's not to love? Talisman City has it's own board that replaces the city square on the original Talisman board, includes new characters and special characters, new spells, new adventure cards, new dungeon cards, it's own city card deck and new purchase cards! It also includes Warrant cards. The city guards don't put up with penniless beggars (having no gold) or fighting in their streets and both will earn you an Arrest Warrant! Over all, an excellent expansion product.

Talisman City adds two new characters and four new special characters. The two new characters are available for use right from the beginning of the game just like all the other characters, but the special characters have to be "earned" in some way. Check them out:

Minotaur, Valkyrie.

The special characters:

High Mage, King's Champion, Master Thief, Sheriff.

The High Mage in particular was always one of my favorites. Probably explains why I'm not overly fond of expansions that don't add spell cards =)

Most of the spells that Talisman City added were just additional copies of spells already in the game. But additional copies is never a bad thing! Here they are:

Craft, Feeble Mind, Magic Shell, Mini-Vortex, Restoration, Spell Call, Spell Turning, Syphon, Temporary Change, Weakness.
