Here are rules differences in Talisman Prologue I notice.
Add yours. Tell your opinion. And please correct me if it is not a difference and desk variant should be played this way too.
In Prologue:
1. You can pick up Objects and Followers when you evade Enemy on the very same space. In desk variant you must kill the Enemy first!
2. You can open Portal of Power or attack Sentinel even if you have Poltergeist. In desk variant you must roll to do that. You can't go 1 space to the Middle or Inner region without actually rolling it.
3. You encounter spaces in the Inner Region even if you go back.
4. If you encounter Hag, your Followers are not discarded. They are ditched on your space.
