Avalon Hill has just announced their latest expansion to Talisman: 5th Edition. Face off against Count Dracula! Experience Talisman Sagas: Crown of Blood. This new title melds the worlds of Talisman with the spine-tingling Gothic horror of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Players can choose to play as vampire slayers Mina Harker or Professor Van Helsing before embarking 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 without the Dracula’s Castle overlay and play as Dracula instead, using the enigmatic “Fanged Toad” as the antagonist. This expansion also introduces Ongoing Event cards which bring unique challenges to the table. Includes 3 Character cards, 1 Dracula reference card, 30 Spell and Adventure cards, 1 board overlay, 4 figures, and rule book. It is designed for 2-6 players, ages 12+and requires Talisman: 5th edition which is sold separately.
I have enjoyed playing Talisman: 5th edition which is the latest version of the classic board game. There have been two other expansions, Talisman Alliances: Fate Beckons, and Talisman Nemesis: Call of the Hunt. Now Talisman Sagas: Crown of Blood adds a whole new story to the series. I am really looking forward to playing this new expansion when it releases on June 15th, 2026. The suggested retail price will be $19.99.
