Talisman Sagas: Crown of Blood, a new expansion arriving next month, has players facing off against the iconic vampire.
Scratch that High Fantasy itch and fight a mighty dragon with Talisman, the exciting adventure game. There are a lot of great “adventure” games on the market, from Gloomhaven to Etherfields. However, only one board game combines the excitement of a roleplaying adventure with the rich lore of Warhammer Fantasy (well, two, I suppose, but Silver Tower doesn’t count). If you want all that fun with the flair of one of the greatest miniature games ever, look no further than Talisman.
The latest edition is getting an expansion next month that dives into one of the most famous horror novels of all time!
Face off against the fury of Dracula! The latest expansion of Talisman infuses the core game with spine-tingling Gothic horror. Players can choose to play as vampire slayers, Mina Harker or Professor Van Helsing, from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.Then, embark on a dangerous journey with fresh enemies, events, and magical objects.
