Covetus Dragon

By Nidhogg2, in Talisman Rules Questions

Are you supposed to only lose gold against it?

What if you have no gold? Sholdn't you lose a life instead of gold in that case?

It looked wrong to me the first time I saw it, but the space has no instructions except lose Gold and move away only when you win the roll. All spaces in the Dragon Realm are somehow harsher than the regular Inner Region. This space is a watered down Dice with Death. Very strange since I don't know why a Character should need Gold after this point.

Yes I also find it very wierd. As you say, all other spaces are far worse than the original but this one space, which instead are less dangerous..

Dosn't make sense...

Could it be a miss print?

Don't think it is a actual missprint. It's more like they left out some additional text about losing lives if you have no gold to pay..

I got an email from John. You are supposed to lose 1 life if you cannot pay the dragon. It is a miss print that will included in future prints of the board.

Best regards

Ok, I thought that would be the case. Should be quite nice and more dangerous than "dice with death" from the original if you died all lives if you had no gold to pay ;)
