Talisman Quests: The Rainforest (fan expansion for Talisman)

Description

--- <TLDR> Talisman Quests: Rainforest is an unofficial print-and-play expansion for Talisman 2nd/4th editions, balancing Pool of Wisdom/Strength via Rainforest quests. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Rainforest board navigation* Players enter the board and follow paths to pools when specific cards appear, weighing quest time against Crown of Command proximity. - *Quest challenges* 60 Quest cards test adventurers seeking pool benefits. - *Curses system* 30 Curses cards penalize those offending gods. - *New characters* Conquistador and Cannibal Warrior with character cards. - *Expanded purchases* 24 new Purchase Cards for acquisition. - *Special cards* Two Large Legend Cards, one Retreat Card, one Gibbering Horror. Talisman Quests: Rainforest is an unofficial, self-published print-and-play expansion by Scott "Fenris" Davenport under Wolf Creek Games, compatible with Talisman 2nd and 4th editions. It counters the imbalance of Pool of Wisdom and Pool of Strength cards, which previously favored nearby characters. Upon their appearance, players must enter the Rainforest board, pursue paths to the pools for benefits, and strategically balance quest duration against advancing to the Crown of Command. Components include a PDF rule book, two playing board images (one full-sized JPEG for large printing, nine letter-sized JPEGs for home printers), 60 Quest cards, 30 Curses cards, two new characters (Conquistador and Cannibal Warrior) with sheets, 24 new Purchase Cards, and four Special Cards (two Large Legend Cards, one Retreat Card, one Gibbering Horror).
