Editing Talisman City (section)

==Reception==
In the September–October 1989 edition of ''[[Games International]]'' (Issue 9), Richard Ashley commented, ""If you enjoy ''Talisman'' this is well worth adding as it is fun, although I found the rich [characters] had an easier time." Ashley concluded by giving it an average rating of 3 out of 5.<ref name=gi>{{cite magazine|last=Ashley|first=Richard| date=September–October 1989 |title=General Games|journal=[[Games International]]| issue=9|pages=14}}</ref>

In the January 1990 issue of ''[[Shadis]]'', B.O. Felton thought that this expansion, the fifth for ''Talisman'', "raises the question of how far Games Workshop can take the Talisman system and retain the playability of the original game." Felton felt this game added too much time, noting, "In our sessions, the ''City'' expansion seemed to double the normal playing time of an already time-devouring game. The game dragged on and on. Players became disinterested after a few hours and we were relieved when someone finally managed to claim victory." Despite this, Felton noted a positive aspect, commenting, "Our group is renowned for its backstabbing sessions of ''Talisman'' and ''City'' has only fueled our nefarious gameplay. The presence of the Dungeon and the ability to frame other players has become our bread and butter and most of us have spent our share of time staring at the dungeon walls." Felton concluded that those that already enjoyed ''Talisman'' would be the beneficiaries of this game, saying, "If you are an avid ''Talisman'' player you will no doubt enjoy this new offering. If, however, you only moderately liked the basic game, you will probably find that the expansion has only heightened the qualities of the game you didn't like. Those drawbacks are mainly the time requirements needed to play and the length of time before your turn comes around."<ref name=shadis>{{cite magazine|last=Felton|first=B.O. | date=January 1990 |title= Game Reviews |magazine=[[Shadis]]| issue=1|pages=50–51}}</ref>  

In the Italian edition of ''Videogame & Computer World'', Massimo De Lisio noted, "The City is not exactly like the Dungeon or Timescape expansions, in the sense that it is not interspersed with the base game, but constantly supports it, increasing the potential for randomness and new events."<ref name=vid>{{cite magazine|last=De Lisio|first=Massimo | date=April 1990 |title= La Saga RPG di Talisman |magazine=Videogame & Computer World| volume=III | number=8 |pages=26}}</ref>
