You’ve already heard that Avalon Hill, via their Facebook page, released the cover box art and some hints at the contents of their upcoming expansion, Talisman Nemesis: Call of the Hunt!
Whie it’s only speculation at this point, it looks like this could be another co-op expansion like Talisman Alliances: Fate Beckons, but there’s some confusing verbiage in the announcement – see below.
From the folks at Board Game Geek:
The Nemesis commands frenzied beasts, leaving destruction in their wake. The heroes must answer the call of the hunt and take the beasts down!
Get ready for one-vs-many gameplay in the Talisman: Nemesis – Call of the Hunt expansion. The hero players must work together to overcome three perilous trials, each with its own unique adversary and villain characters. To win, they need to defeat each adversary before the Nemesis player wipes them out. The Nemesis’ objective? Each trial brings a new one. As players complete trials, they’ll open boxes and discover new cards and figures to add to their game.
One vs. many to me indicates single player – but in the second sentence it says “the hero players must work together…”
So which is it?
We shall see.
Coming November 1, 2025.
