So, this past week, one of our dogs that has a fair bit of anxiety broke out of her crate while we were out and decided one of my Talisman boxes on the bookcase was a great bit of fun to pull down and rip apart. Just so happens that this was the box that has all the cards for all of the expansions in it... sigh
After a week of not being able to look at it and having thrown it in a laundry basket, I finally surveyed the damage:
Total losses:
- Dungeon board adventure cards
- Highland board adventure cards
- Omen deck(s)
- All but 2 Terrain cards
- Homebrew expansion Timescape cards
- Firelands adventure cards
Mostly destroyed:
- Bloodmoon adventure deck cards
- Sacred pool adventure deck cards
- Reaper adventure deck cards
- Frost March adventure deck cards
- 50 cards from the main game- adventure deck
Mostly OK:
- Surprisingly only 3 cards from the City expansion were ruined
- Only 2 Woodlands cards were ruined
- Only lost 5 spell cards out of all of them
- Nothing from the Dragon expansion was lost!
- Both the Nether realm and deep realm decks were unscathed
I keep all the components separated in 4 of the boxes - Boards - Tokens and Miniatures - Reward cards and others with the rules - All adventure decks. She got the adventure deck box.
I can replace some of the cards since I know how to make cards but to replace all of them is just too much. Now that Talisman is essentially discontinued and I am a poor folk, this is going to increase the difficulty in replacing these - Looks like I need to buy The Cataclysm, Firelands, Dungeon, Highlands, Bloodmoon, Sacred Pool, Reaper, Harbinger Frost March and the Main game again...
This was one of the few games I have left after my house burned down a few years ago so I will replace it eventually but it looks like it won't be played for a long while.
But out of curiosity is there anyone out there that has any extra cards for sale? I know some have mentioned buying multiple sets, so maybe you have the decks from those? Doesn't hurt to ask....
Funny enough though, two of the cards from the main game that were destroyed were cursed by a hag AND the poltergeist. lol
P.S. The dog is still alive. But I would be willing to trade her for Talisman stuff. She is a black, 120 lb great dane. She is potty trained but has some separation problems.
