Thoughts

Thoughts on game design and particularly the City… Regarding the Talisman City. I know this may come, as quite a shock to many people but The Talisman City is not great. When we created it we were simply going on an idea. It was something I came up with and pursued. We presented it to the powers that be and they liked it. So it was created. However, looking back (hindsight being what it is)… the City does not serve its purpose. An expansion (to any game) must enhance play. Unfortunately, the city misdirects our attention away from the ultimate goal… reaching the Crown of Command Space and winning the game. No, the City merely prolongs this and for this faus pax, I apologize. Chalk it up to inexperience and the ego of youth.

However, in our defense, an expansion is just that and owing to the fact the City Cards are easily removed from the game, one does not have to play with it.
