Order of Play

By daedel2007, in Talisman

Ok, I am little confused about the order when you come to a space and have to draw cards. Let's suppose:

1.- The space is empty and orders to draw cards. Then you face every card following the cards' number. When you are finished with cards, then you follow any instructions of the space. Is that correct?

2.- The space has already cards and gold coins. You draw to complete, face cards and... when can you pick objects and gold coins? before or after following instructions of the space?

Thank you,

daedel.

#1: Spaces with instructions (Tavern, City, Village, etc.) don't have "draw X cards" text on them, so you don't draw cards. It is possible that certain Adventure cards have been moved to one of those spaces, in which case you deal with the cards first, and if your turn didn't end, then follow the instructions on the space.

#2: You pick them up when you get to their number in the encounter sequence (#5). Note that cards already in a space count toward the cards you draw, so Ruins, Oasis and Hidden Valley are the only spaces on the main board where you might draw cards if there are cards already in the space. All other spaces are "draw 1 card", so any face-up card fulfills the drawing requirement.

Ok, but if for whatever the reason there are objects and golds in for example Tavern space, when do I pick them? Before or after following instructions?

Then you can pick them up, before you encounter those spaces. (chapel, tavern, village, city, forest, crags, chasm etc

You must only encounter the space first, if you land on a draw card space.

Thank you. I was confused because of the chart detailing the sequence of encounters: it says "follow instructions of space" before getting any stuff on it. Thus my doubt.
