Corner Expansion Movement Question

By Kamehameornah, in Talisman Rules Questions

Hello!

This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while. We recently just gathered all 4 corner piece expansions and we were wondering if you are allowed to move both ways on the corner expansions? (Both forwards toward the last spot on the corner piece as well as backwards towards the main board). Any clarification is appreciated!

Sorry if this was asked somewhere else...

Thanks

Yepp, dunno if it's posted but it's written in the rule books.

Of course the City is a special case, you only move clockwise/in out of shops. Read up on it in the City rulebook if you're unsure.

-There are special phrases (Alternative rules) in at least the dungeon where you are only allowed to move downwards or flee all the way up (somewhere near the end of the rulebook).

Good luck and welcome to the forums :)

Wow fast reply, thanks for the help! We were playing that you could only move forward once you entered a corner piece but then I played the digital version today and noticed it gave me an option to move either way.

Thanks for the input!

Haha, yeah. I'm really bored with what I should be doing so.. yeah :)

Here's the section I meant from the Dungeons exp rulebook.

Fight or Flight

Playing with this alternative rule imposes stricter movement
rules in the Dungeon. Movement in the Dungeon follows the
normal rules; characters roll one die and move the indicated
number of spaces. However, characters must move in the
direction of the arrows listed on each space. Characters may
only move against the direction of an arrow under the following
circumstances:
• The character is instructed to do so by the rules on a card
or space.
• When a character is fleeing the Dungeon (see below).

You can find all the rulebooks in pdf-format at [1], great for digitally searching for your answer.

Haha! You and me both. Oh nice, thanks for the PDFs. I think maybe we got confused with something that was said in the woodlands (which was actually our first expansion lol).

Come join the next Talisman Cup on Steam Kame! Add me, talismanamsilat on Steam.

I have yet to play it on Steam. My wife and I will probably look into steam soon. I have it on my iPhone mostly to solo play while I'm at work when I'm not too busy or when I have extra time. We play the physical board game every Saturday though with friends/ family! Feel free to add me on Steam and once I grab a copy we can play: Kamehameornah

I also do some Twitch streaming (Not Talisman yet) but maybe I can look into streaming Talisman soon :-)
