Discover this new era of Talisman where Inventions lead the way. Craft new weapons and gear to help you claim victory and reach the Crown of Command!
A mysterious moving shop now travels the outer region of Talisman. Known as Cog, this travelling store moves one space clockwise every round. If you’re lucky enough to encounter Cog, you’ll be rewarded by receiving 1 Material Card for free. You may then purchase additional material cards at the cost of 1 gold per material card already taken.
Gone are the days of wishing you could create that perfect sword. Using 3 cards from the Material Deck you’re able to invent and create hundreds of new creations. You can earn new Materials by encountering Cog, defeating certain Enemies, or encountering various new Adventure Cards. Once you have 3 Materials you may combine them into your brand-new invention.
What will you create? What combinations of Materials will you try? The inventing is down to you!
