Description[]

The Talisman City expansion replaces the city space in the Outer Region on the Talisman game board. Within the new city region there are more places to visit and additional items to purchase. Some new areas to visit include The Town Square, The Armoury, The Anarchist's Guild and Magic Emporium.

Some special rules apply within the city. The city "has standards to maintain" and does not harbor moneyless people, hence you must always have at least one gold with you at all times. If you should ever lose all your gold, a warrant for your arrest will be issued. If the Patrol or Watch (new cards) ever encounter you, you will be arrested and taken prisoner. In addition, fighting and all its variants (e.g. assassinating) are not tolerated and earn any participants a warrant.
