Earthquake/Volcano

[Phantasma]

Do these event cards exist in the game? It's possible they got discarded by the AI, just wondering if they're present as I always found they helped clear the board, and added some exciting randomness to play :-)

There are boardwipe cards in the game yes. I dont know if they are in the core adventure deck or an expansion though....

[sanityismyvanity]

Earthquake is in the Reaper expansion. So is Curfew (which sends all Strangers to the discard pile).

[Phantasma]

Thanks, good to know :-) Is there still the card (Whirlwind?) that goes through all of a Player's items and blows them away/destroys them on certain roles?

[dogfacedboyuk1]

there is a card that does that yes.

[Phantasma]

Good (so long as I don't draw it :-) ) - thanks, must have missed it in first playthrough, or maybe it got discarded by AI character with Orb.

[Ilt]

none of those cards are in the game now. i have played several games where all the adventure cards have been used now. but i bet they will be in the reaper.

[sanityismyvanity]

Both the Whirlwind and Gust of Wind spell are in Reaper, so you will see those pretty soon when that gets released.

[Phantasma]

Great, thanks all :-)

I think you're right Wolverine101, those cards do exist in this version but if you thought vortex was bad, wait until the arrival of the card (Whirlwind I think) that results in you having to roll to keep every item you own, I used to constantly dread drawing that when playing the boardgame :-)

Volcano (or maybe Lava Flow, or something) is in the Highland expansion. It can destroy any/all adventure cards in the region, but there is other highland cards that can send it to the main board regions and get it out of the Highland corner. always loved this card

In the dungeon, there is an enemy that goes on a rampage if you dont defeat it and starts destroying cards in that region (again possible to be taken out of the dungeon region and seen in the main board)

[Phantasma]

That sounds cool, my knowledge is a little dated I guess as I've never played 4th edition. Lava flow sounds very like the card, maybe Earhquake, that used to clear all spaces, depending on rolls. Volcano used to cause Strangers to move on, I think, but it's all a bit hazy now. Like the idea of the dungeon berserker :-)

I know there is a damm vortex card that destroys all spells because I seem to draw it every game. There's also pestilence that take the life 1 of everyone in the regiion. Haven't run into any weapon or armor destructing cards like earthquake or whirlwind though.

Wait until that big nasty Troll you love to play gets hit in the face with Toadify or Finger of Death. He wont be looking so tough.....

From a Talisman Wiki I found ....

Title:Whirlwind
A Whirlwind whips up in this space. Roll 1 die for each Object you are carrying:
The Object blows to a space one die roll clockwise around the board
The Object blows to a space one die roll clockwise around the board
The Object blows to a space one die roll clockwise around the board
You hold on to the Object
You hold on to the Object
You hold on to the Object
The Whirlwind whisks off to the discard pile.

Title: Closed Shop
Card Type: Event
Business is bad. All faceup Places on the board close up shop and pack off to the discard pile.

Title: Curfew
Card Type: Event
The military imposes a curfew across the land. All faceup Strangers on the board move on to the discard pile.

Title: Earthquake
Card Type: Event
An Earthquake shocks the land. Roll 1 die for each faceup Adventure Card in this Region. On a roll of 1, 2, or 3 the Adventure Card tumbles down to the discard pile. The Earthquake then dissipates to the discard pile.

Title: Volcanic Eruption
Card Type: Event
Molten lava courses down the mountains. Roll 1 die for each faceup Adventure Card in this Region. On a roll of 1, 2, or 3, the Adventure Card is swept away to the discard pile. The Eruption then flows to the discard pile.

I love these board-changing cards :-)
