Talisman 5th Edition Expansion. Talisman Sagas: Crown of Blood expansion infuses the Talisman core game with spine-tingling Gothic horror. Players can choose to play as vampire slayers Mina Harker or Professor Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Then embark on a dangerous journey with fresh enemies, events, and magical objects. Compete to reach Dracula's Castle and be the first to defeat the Count to win! Or play the core game without the Dracula's Castle overlay, and use Dracula as a playable character and the Fanged Toad as the antagonist. This extension also introduces Ongoing Event cards, a fresh game-changing mechanic. Includes: 3 Character cards 1 Dracula reference card 30 Spell and Adventure cards 1 Dracula's Castle board overlay 4 highly detailed miniatures (Investigator Mina Harker, Professor Van Helsing, Count Dracula -- and 1 alternate antagonist, the Fanged Toad) Rule book
