Delve at first sight: Exclusive glimpse at upcoming Talisman Dungeon expansion

Meet the Gypsy, Swashbuckler, Philosopher, Gladi....wait, we have an adventuring Philosopher now?

Meet the Gypsy, Swashbuckler, Philosopher, Gladi….wait, we have an adventuring Philosopher now?

I know that, lately, I’ve been giving Talisman Digital Edition a lot of love. Since it was updated to be on iPhone last month, I’ve been playing it a ton and really enjoying it. If you were hoping that the Talisman love-fest would be ending soon, I have some bad news for you: I’m just getting started.

Nomad Games is submitting The Dungeon, the first big-box expansion for Talisman, next week. It should then hit for iOS and Android shortly thereafter. The Dungeon is considered a big-box expansion due to the fact that it adds a new board that wraps around the corner of the main board. Besides the new board, the expansion also includes over 100 new cards, 5 new characters, new spells and the super-powerful Treasure cards that lie deep in the dungeon. It does what every good Talisman expansion should, expands the amount of variety in every game.

Exclusive trailer and screenshots of The Dungeon after the break.

Here you can see how the Dungeon board wraps around the main board, making the entrance to the Dungeon appear on the Ruins space. Clever, no?

New monsters and items, most of them only appearing if you venture into the Dungeon.

At the end of the Dungeon is a treasure room with a random big baddie in it. They’re tough to beat, but the Treasure cards you get as a reward are usually worth it. Until you get turned into a toad, at least.

The spell deck is getting a boost, too.

The Gypsy is, apparently, part snake. Do spines work that way?
