urrounding the land of Talisman are four great kingdoms which are known as the Realms. This expansion set allows you to enter two of these realms: the Dungeon realm of the dread Lord of Darkness, and the Mountain realm of the fierce Eagle King. Each of these realms offers great opportunities as well as terrible dangers for those adventurers bold enough to enter them.

Your copy of Dungeon of Doom should contain the following cardboard and plastic components:

Before setting up, shuffle the three extra adventure cards provided with Dungeon of Doom into the Talisman Adventure card deck, then shuffle the six new character sheets in with the Talisman character sheets. When you have done this, set up all the pieces for the game exactly as you would normally.

Take the two new board sections, or realms as they are described from now on, and place them next to the main Talisman board as shown in the diagram below. Shuffle the Dungeon and Mountain card decks, and place them near to the appropriate realm, and place the Morak's Hammer and Runesword special cards beside the Mountain realm board.

The Talisman rules are unchanged, and the game is still won by defeating the Dragon King at the centre of the board. The only difference is that players may now move their characters into the new realms by the side of the main Talisman board. Special rules apply to entering and moving in the realms, as described below. In addition, when in a realm you must draw cards from the appropriate realm card deck, rather than the normal Talisman Adventure card deck.

Each realm is connected to the main Talisman board at a specific space: the Dungeon connects at the Ruins space, and the Mountains connect at the Crags space. You may enter a realm simply by moving from the main board to the realm from the appropriate connecting space. However, your move ends as soon as you enter the realm, even if you had some spaces of movement left over.

To leave a realm, simply reverse the procedure, moving from the entry/exit space in the realm back to the connecting space on the main board. You do not have to stop moving when you move back to the main board, and must use up your full move as normal.

If your character starts a turn in the Tower you must roll the special Realm dice to see how many spaces your character may move.

The Realm dice is different from a normal six sided dice in that it bears the numbers 1, 1, 2, 2 3 & 4 instead of the normal 1-6 pips. You will notice that this means you move more slowly in the realms, which is as it should be because each realm is, in its own way, more difficult to move through than the normal board. Note that you only roll the Realm dice for movement; use the normal six-sided dice for battles, psychic combat, or anything else that calls for a dice roll.
