Talisman Blood Moon is a gothic horror themed set. More so than the reaper expansion. Today we will be unboxing this werewolf set and letting you know what is all inside. This is the Talisman Blood Moon Unboxing.
Some of the notable mechanics
There are some notable mechanics to this expansion mostly around the werewolf npc. This character behaves like the reaper, but has the chance to harm people and be fought off. Failure to roll well on the werewolf will lead to lycanthropy or the curse of turning into a werewolf.
With that in mind, the game also introduces day and night cycles. This addition to the game seems to only really be used for this expansion, but it would be cool to see it if they ever make new expansions for the game.
Talisman is one of the great love-it-or-hate-it board games. It’s a roll-and-move adventure where you pick a hero, wander a dangerous realm, and race to the Crown of Command in the center of the board, with a dice roll or a bad card ready to ruin your day at any moment. Avalon Hill’s 5th Edition is the first major refresh in years, and it makes a strong first impression. After playing it against the 4th Edition, though, I still reach for 4th Edition when I want a proper Talisman experience.
