The Dragons have risen over the plains of Talisman. With them we see an introduction of six new endings, six new characters, 2 inner region replacements and 168 new cards.
The Dragon lords - Varthrax, Cadorus, and Grilipus - bring with them some complex mechanics in the form of dragon rages but with the complexity comes strategy and depth. Another mechanic is added to Talisman’s vast arsenal that increases just how dynamic the experience can be.
The rulebook can be found here.

Fixes
A patch list is near impossible to make due to balancing patches for the Firelands and developing Dragons. Knowing which bugs went live when reported in the threads against which bugs were fixed on the fly against which bugs were fixed through beta reports against which bugs were fixed because we broke the game fixing bugs in the beta but the live version never saw these bugs… insert more excuses here
The key fixes that people should be aware of is that we have found a number of causes that impact completing games (transferring from the victory screen to the XP screen), disconnecting during online play, launching resume games and rejoining. There’s been a lot of individual bug fixes for a lot of really niche issues but the network fixes should benefit all users that play online.
If you have reported or experienced and super specific issues and want to know if it’s been addressed then please ask and I’ll let you know.
TO NOTE: Getting the update will most likely make your old saves outdated due to all of the new code running in the background, so please complete any games you want to finish before getting the update.
Special thanks…
As always, we are grateful for all the hours that people choose to give to helping us improve the quality of Talisman: Digital Edition. For this expansion we gave more people access at an earlier stage and some folk really went above and beyond in helping us ensure the highest standards possible.
Thanks especially to Nemomon for your continued hard work and support.
