The Talisman Dungeon consists of a new board that players may move to, with its own deck of 36 Dungeon Adventure cards. In the corridors and tunnels of the Dungeon players may meet such horrors as the Hell Hound or Bronze Dragon, or find such ancient artifacts as the Crystal of Power - anything could happen!
