Editing Talisman (board game) (section)

==== Expansions ====

Games Workshop released several expansions for the game. Each expansion added new locations, characters and Adventure cards to the game, while some added new spells and objects. Some even allowed characters the opportunity to bypass the Valley of Fire and be transported directly to the Inner Region or the Crown of Command.

The first, ''Talisman Expansion Set'',<ref>{{bgg title|1737|Talisman Expansion}}</ref> was released in 1986, followed by ''[[Talisman The Adventure]]''<ref>{{bgg title|1736|Talisman The Adventure}}</ref> which gave rules clarifications, alternative endings, character sheets, and additional slotted bases for up to 12 players.

The third expansion set, ''[[Talisman Dungeon]]'',<ref>{{bgg title|1741|Talisman Dungeon}}</ref> was released in 1987 and added a second "Dungeon" board to be placed alongside the main ''Talisman'' game board. The dungeon is laid out in a spiral pattern, leading to the Treasure Chamber in the centre. Some spells and character abilities are nullified or altered within the dungeon. Players encounter dungeon entrances on the main ''Talisman'' board, and, having entered the dungeon, navigate its traps and creatures to reach the fabulous treasure at its centre. On their next turn after reaching the Treasure Chamber, players are transported back to a location on the main board determined by a die roll. ''Dungeon'' can be played without the main game board by starting at the entrance to the dungeon and racing to the centre, with the first to arrive declared the winner.

''Talisman Timescape'',<ref>{{bgg title|1743|Talisman Timescape}}</ref> loosely based on the ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' [[science fiction]] setting, was released in 1988. The Timescape added a new board, representing a linked chain of different dimensions, as well as new heroes and objects with a science-fiction theme. Characters may enter the Timescape by encountering a Warp Gate, stumbling upon the Horrible Black Void, or by visiting special people such as the Enchantress or the Warlock. Characters cannot encounter each other while in the Timescape—they have been teleported to an entirely different reality. To move, players roll a die and consult a table to see where they are drawn to next.

The next expansion, ''[[Talisman City]]'',<ref>{{bgg title|1740|Talisman City}}</ref> was released in 1989, and replaces the single "city" space (in the Outer Region on the ''Talisman'' board) with an entire "city" board.  Within the new city region there are more places to visit and additional items to purchase.  Characters can have arrest warrant served on them in the city, either for having no gold or for fighting.  If a character with a warrant encounters the City Patrol or Watch, they will be arrested and taken prisoner.

The final expansion, ''Talisman Dragons'',<ref>{{bgg title|1739|Talisman Dragons}}</ref> was released in 1993 and added [[dragon]]-related cards and heroes.
